NEW Modern North Park. Short Walk From Everything
Welcome to Kansas Modern, a place where luxury and adventure go hand in hand. Designed by local Architect & Developer Beri Varol, this brand new mixed-use community is located in the heart of North Park. This ground floor (walk-up) apartment features a private bedroom and semi-private sleeping loft, each with a queen bed. The apartment is in the heart of some of San Diego's most exciting new and established restaurants. The kitchen is also fully stocked if you'd rather prepare a meal at home

Spacious apartment, old world charm
Our open-space apartment is full of charm and character. From the Spanish-tiled private entry to the footed tub shower, you will experience a unique feeling. Enjoy the nearby vibrant restaurant scene as well as the rooftop deck with its harbor view! The ceilings are low in a couple spots and could be a challenge for folks who are especially tall. My boyfriend is 6'4" and has learned to adapt! It may be something to consider. House noises travel in this old home, so it can be a factor for some.
