Step inside an architectural gem at Hillside Hideaway II. This upper-level 2 bedroom, 2 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.

Located on hills overlooking downtown San Diego and the bay, Mission Hills is an affluent, historic neighborhood with a distinct village-like atmosphere. Its tree-lined streets are celebrated for beautiful Craftsman, Spanish Colonial, and mid-century homes. With a focus on architectural preservation, the walkable business district boasts local restaurants and boutiques, creating a peaceful, scenic retreat just minutes from downtown.
Welcome to Mission Hills! Our beautiful neighborhood is known for its incredible views and, as the name suggests, its many hills. Our unit is located on a very steep street, which can be a fun challenge! You are welcome to use the shared carport, and street parking is also available directly in front of the unit. For an easier spot and a breathtaking view, you'll find flat parking at the top of the hill. Access to your unit is through the carport and up the stairs, using the smart lock for entry. A friendly reminder: please always enter and exit via the carport, and do not use the adjacent walkway, as it is a neighbor's private path.
