Incredibly rare mixed-use trophy property located at the corner of 1st Ave and Maple St in the heart of Bankers Hill, just steps from Balboa Park, Mister A’s, and surrounded by some of San Diego’s most iconic historic homes. Situated on a prime corner lot with dual street frontage, this exceptional asset offers strong in-place income, pride of ownership, and long-term investment potential in one of San Diego’s most desirable neighborhoods. The property consists of five units, including a professional office space and four residential units. The front corner office, designed to resemble a classic historic home, is leased under a long-term agreement with annual rent increases. The residential units have been extensively remodeled and professionally designed, creating a turnkey investment with strong rental appeal. Two units were completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2024. Major capital improvements include all-new electrical, plumbing, insulation, HVAC systems, electrical meters, and a state-of-the-art fire sprinkler system throughout. Several units feature upgraded kitchens, designer finishes, modern flooring, and remodeled bathrooms. The upper unit enjoys bay and city views, while tenants share a beautifully landscaped courtyard. Mixed-use zoning provides flexibility for investors or owner-users. Ideally located near downtown, Little Italy, the waterfront, San Diego International Airport, and some of the city's best dining and cultural attractions, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully upgraded mixed-use asset in one of San Diego’s premier neighborhoods.
