    What's special

    Private balconyOversized islandOpen kitchenIndustrial loftTwo large skylightsStainless steel kitchen appliancesTerrazzo tile
    Fully remodeled top floor industrial loft located at the intersection of Hillcrest and Banker's Hill in a low-rise building located less than a block from Balboa Park on 5th Avenue between Spruce and Thorn. This building sits above the flight path for the San Diego airport and does not have airplane noise. Built in 1961 and designed by architect C.J. Paderewski, this building has been identified as an example of the San Diego Modernist era. The FBI utilized this building in the 1960's and 1970's. Fortunately for the residents of the Fifth Avenue Lofts, the building has concrete construction (which is unlike most new buildings) and the result is that the lofts are very quiet inside making them ideal live/work spaces. This loft is perfect for entertaining with an open kitchen and oversized island. The almost 1,000 square foot space is entirely an open loft, there is not a separate bedroom. The loft is bright and airy with two large skylights, 15 foot concrete ceilings, wood floors, terrazzo tile in both bathrooms, matte white kitchen counters, bamboo cabinets, stainless steel kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, one and half bathrooms, private balcony, and private storage cage in garage (3 feet wide, 6 feet deep, 7 feet high). Central A/C and heat. One designated parking space in garage (no extra fees charged for the parking spot). Available unfurnished. No cats. Small dog under 25 pounds may be considered with additional deposit. Available for showings by appointment. Rental application fee paid by prospective tenant through Zillow when invited to apply. Application includes background check, income verification. Professional references and prior rental property references will be contacted as part of the application process. All prospective tenants must complete application and sign lease agreement. Long term guests not permitted. No subletting. Airbnb is strictly prohibited in building. Owner pays for water, sewer, and trash. Tenant responsible for SDG&E, internet/cable. Cats not permitted. Dog under 25 pounds may be considered with additional deposit. No smoking or vaping of any products in the unit, on the balcony, or in the common areas by tenant or guests. Tenant must agree to comply with HOA policies as part of rental agreement (policies will be provided prior to any lease being offered or signed). This includes but is not limited to policies regarding moving in and moving out, common areas, and noise. Any fees charged for violations of policies by tenants will be paid by tenants. Tenant must obtain rental insurance policy for move in date including a provision for loss of use, owners must be named as additional insured on tenant's rental insurance policy, confirmation of policy must be provided to owners.
