Welcome to Aria, where downtown energy meets your own private oasis on Cortez Hill. This premium southwest corner residence boasts one of the largest private terraces in Downtown San Diego, with over 2,500 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor living. A sweeping wall of curved floor-to-ceiling windows wraps the open living space in natural light, framing the city by day and shimmering skyline views by night. The expansive terrace delivers postcard sightlines of the iconic El Cortez and creates a true outdoor room for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or unwinding under the stars. The open layout flows seamlessly between living, dining, and kitchen, anchored by rich dark wide-plank flooring. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, outfitted with sleek European-style cabinetry, frosted glass uppers, a soft glass tile backsplash, and dark stone counters that frame a generous center island. Premium stainless appliances include double wall ovens, an induction cooktop, built-in microwave, and full-size refrigerator. Both bedrooms open directly to the terrace, blending peaceful retreat with the pulse of the city just beyond the door, while a polished bathroom with full-size tub and crisp white tile completes the home. PLUS tandem parking and storage. Residents also enjoy newly added on-site security and concierge service most days of the week. A rare chance to own one of Downtown San Diego's most distinctive residences, where skyline drama and residential calm come together in one extraordinary home. Located atop Cortez Hill, the highest point in San Diego, Aria was completed in 2008 and comprises 137 units. This prime location is set away from the city's hustle and bustle, offering both tranquility and convenience. Residents can enjoy a short stroll or drive to Balboa Park and the vibrant offerings of Downtown San Diego, coupled with excellent freeway access for broader travels. Aria residences boast spacious outdoor balconies and terraces, enhancing the living experience with modern comforts and stunning views of the bay, Balboa Park, and the city skyline. The building's amenities include a fitness center, lap pool and spa, club room with a catering kitchen and wet bar, all designed to elevate the quality of life for its residents.
