The
Enduring Prestigious Del Prado*
666 Upas Street Unit #401
Sold for $815,750
Designed as a three bedroom unit and easily converted back, this stunningly remodeled and now two bedroom, plus office home won San Diego Home and Garden Magazine's Best Small Kitchen Award. It was designed by Architect Kevin deFreitas. The unit enjoys exposure in three directions and is framed with blue jacarandas and orange coral trees. Balboa Park, the Marston House gardens and the charm of 7th Street¹s historic homes serve as its setting.
Enter the unit through double doors and be tugged to the wall of windows inviting in urban, active views, pastoral landscapes and wonderful light. Notice the comfortable sized rooms, larger than usual bathrooms, generous closets and storage.
Priced near the Del Prado's most recent remodeled, same floor plan/square footage sale, Unit 401 is ready to sell. Compare the price, the unit, the location, the building amenities and the HOA management history with anything else in downtown and uptown. For those who know San Diego, a home in the Del Prado requires no further address.
In the words of the owners . . . One of the highlights of summer has been our annual family trips to Yosemite. We love the pine forests, the sound of the birds and the feeling of being one with nature. So imagine our delight when we first stepped into this condo and found ourselves surrounded by trees, many at eye level, giving us the feeling of being in Yosemite again. Though we have lived here for 10 years, we never tire of looking out at the Park during the day and enjoying the subtle and pleasing lights of the Park at night. In the spring our view is enhanced by the large flowing jacaranda trees in the east and the beautiful red coral tree directly south. The flowers and gardens of the historic Marston House are a delight throughout the year. It¹s like living in a beautiful botanical garden.
