This newly renovated paradise boasts a 7,500 square foot lot of pure, unadulterated awesomeness. You read that right – it's a playground of epic proportions, scattered throughout the property's grounds. This home is the upper half of a duplex, a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, with it's own private deck, hot tub and grill. The pathway leads to a shared common area at the lower level of the property featuring a cozy safari-inspired tent (with privacy curtains), putt-putt course, and cornhole/ladder toss court.
This is a brand new listing, so please check out the reviews on our other properties and know that when you book with us, you are embarking on a 5- star memory making extravaganza that you and your guests will absolutely love.
The moment you open the door and step into the game room, the nostalgia will take over. We've got foosball, Pac-Man, chess, and even an arcade style 2-player basketball hoop for you to challenge your fellow travelers. It's a game lover's dream come true, sure to delight everyone in your party.
Now, let's talk about the views. Picture this: You return from a long day of sightseeing to jaw dropping panoramic vistas of the harbor and downtown. Or, you wake up before everyone else and enjoy some zen watching planes land or cruise ships come in. It's like having your own private movie theater where the main attraction is the beauty of San Diego.
Speaking of movie theaters, if you tire of the incredible view, simply press a button and tilt back in the massive electric leather recliner sofa while you conjure up a flick on the massive 75” home theater television. Change the colors on the electric fireplace until you find the perfect ambiance!
But what about location??… "The Great Escape" is centrally located in beautiful Mission Hills, San Diego's premier neighborhood. It's a 10-minute walk to Little Italy and Banker's Hill, and a mere 5-10 minute drive or Uber ride away from all the major hotspots. Explore the vibrant neighborhoods, indulge in culinary delights, and soak up the pulsating energy of San Diego, all just outside your door.
Wait, there's more! As you venture towards the bottom of the property, prepare to be blown away by the luxurious safari tent inspired by our travels to South Africa. Picture yourself sitting around a cozy fire pit, sipping fine wine, and swapping stories under the starry night sky. And for those looking for a little friendly competition, we've got a putt-putt, bocce ball, and corn hole course just outside the tent to enhance the fun. It's the perfect recipe for laughter, camaraderie, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Please note, this space is shared with guests from the upstairs unit, so its not 100% guaranteed that it will always be available.
Let's not forget the expansive decks that will leave you feeling like royalty. After a long day exploring the city, sink into the warm waters of the private hot tub, fire up the barbecue grill, and enjoy the finer things in life. The custom-made walnut countertops add that extra touch of elegance as you savor delicious meals while taking in the breathtaking views.
This home is located on the second level of a recently remodeled duplex. This home is located atop a hill, and there is usually free street parking within near proximity if not directly in front. When parking on a hill, be sure to crank your wheels towards the curb to avoid being ticketed.
