Barbara Kushel, an affiliate agent with the San Diego Metro/Mission Valley office of Coldwell Banker Realty, has listed a Downtown San Diego home in the historic El Cortez for $430,000. Located at 702 Ash St., Unit 409, in San Diego, the one-bedroom, two-bathroom and approximately 888-square-foot home was upgraded throughout and includes a den with a built-in closet and drawers.
“The El Cortez is a unique building that offers an opportunity to own a piece of San Diego history,” said Kushel. “The lobby is truly a grand entrance that is found only in historic buildings in European cities and only here in U.S. cities like San Francisco and New York.”
Showcasing nine-foot ceilings and windows overlooking the cityscape and evening city lights, the unit offers hardwood floors, wood blinds, an optional bedroom with built-in closet and drawers as well as a kitchen with added cupboards, storage, recess lighting, stainless steel appliances and Quartz countertops and backsplash. There are reduced property taxes because of the Mills Act.

Designed by Walker & Eisen Architects and built in 1927, El Cortez originally had 85 apartments, 32 hotel rooms and Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture, which is a long-standing landmark in Downtown San Diego.
