Hillside Hideaway | Mid-Century | Private patio

Summary:

Step inside an architectural gem at Hillside Hideaway. This lower-level 2 bedroom, 1 bath home was designed by the renowned modernist architect Homer Delawie, a master of elegant simplicity and post-WWII design. Known for his signature use of vast glass to blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, Delawie's work is celebrated throughout San Diego, with many of his designs now historical landmarks. This home is a noteworthy and unique example of his iconic style.

WINDOWS

Please note the windows in this unit are unique. Please use care and be gentle when opening and closing . They are original and quite special. Open by pulling the levers on the sides of the windows. Close by raising the levers. Please try not to let them slam closed.



SECURITY CAMERAS:

We believe in creating a safe and secure environment for all guests while respecting their privacy. Three strategically placed security cameras are focused on entrances and the carport for your safety and peace of mind. These cameras are primarily intended for incident response and are therefore not routinely monitored. Acting as a silent partner, they should complement your own vigilance and ensure a worry-free stay.



PARKING:

You may use the shared carport to park one car or to load and unload and then park your car on the street. There is ample street parking. Some guests are not comfortable with parking in the carport due to the steep driveway. At the top of the hill you will find flat parking. If you park right in front on the street make sure you curb your tires to face towards the curb. When parking downhill with a curb, turn the front wheels towards the curb. When parking uphill with a curb, turn the front wheels away from the curb and let the car roll back until the tire gently touches the curb. It's easy once you get the hang of it.



This property features two distinct units, each with private terraces and spacious open floor plans. They are separate but can be rented together for larger groups.



This home HILLSIDE HIDEAWAY I , recently renovated smaller lower level unit, includes 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom and unique outdoor patio with floor to ceiling glass blending the line between inside and out.

Both units can be rented together for larger groups. Just ask!
