Normal Heights, CA 92116

Property Description

Most properties with three units feel like three units. This one feels like a home. A University Heights Craftsman, fully renovated, permitted, and separately metered, set up as a 2 bed, 2 bath main residence, a studio with a full kitchen, and a detached 1 bed, 1 bath ADU. Approximately 2,020 square feet total, each with a completely private entrance and private outdoor space. This home was designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Modern additions blend seamlessly with the original Craftsman character. Materials like 1920’s bookshelves, floors, and windows were restored by hand to retain the original warmth rather than replaced with cheaper alternatives. The kitchen in the main residence is the showpiece: French at heart, with brass hardware, sculptural lighting, serious storage, and a window onto the garden. An en suite bath was built to resemble a spa retreat, perfect for long showers and morning rituals. A bright sunroom and sitting room face a tropical front yard, perfect for morning coffee. Out back, a space big enough to host a sunset event: en elevated deck, a fire pit, mature fruit trees, and enough greenery that you forget how close you are to many of San Diego’s top rated places. If you prefer going out, local favorites including Soichi, The Friendly, Little While, Polite Provisions, and Ann's Dry Cleaning are all a block or two away, covering all the basis. Live in one unit and rent two. Move a parent into the ADU. Keep the studio for guests. The configuration is yours. What's already settled is the part you can't fake: it feels like a home, not a portfolio.
