Property Description

Own a piece of San Diego history in the iconic Cable Building Lofts-originally a 1950s industrial structure that once served as a Pacific Bell telephone switching station, and thoughtfully converted into residential lofts in 1998 as one of Southern California’s pioneering adaptive reuse projects. This recently renovated top-floor corner unit showcases true loft character with 12-foot ceilings, exposed red brick walls, stained concrete floors, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. The modern kitchen features sleek cabinetry, stunning quartz countertops, a large island with seating for four & high-quality stainless steel appliances-perfect for both everyday living & entertaining. The open concept living area is spacious and inviting, while the private primary bedroom is fully enclosed with walls and a door for added comfort. A dedicated home office area offers oversized desk space and the flexibility to be converted into a second bedroom with the addition of a partition or permanent walls. A cozy balcony w/ easterly exposure overlooks the vibrant community of Hillcrest. Additional highlights include two parking spaces—an exceptional find in Hillcrest—HOA-approved EV charger capability, a large private secured storage area & built-in storage cabinets conveniently located in front of the parking space. Ideally situated in the heart of Hillcrest, you’re just moments from shopping, dining, nightlife, major freeways, medical centers, downtown San Diego, and Balboa Park. This is urban loft living at its finest-where historic charm meets modern convenience.
