Residence 1704 at Aria presents a rare opportunity to experience elevated San Diego living from a 17th-floor northwest corner residence. Offering 1,355 sq. ft., 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, this exceptional home is wrapped in expansive corner windows that capture extraordinary natural light and panoramic views in three directions. The ever-changing panorama extends from the lush greenery of Balboa Park across San Diego Bay to the Downtown skyline and Coronado Bridge, with dramatic sunsets over Point Loma. The coveted northwest orientation provides abundant natural light throughout the day while helping minimize the heat and glare of the stronger midday and early-afternoon sun. The views are not limited to the living spaces—they are enjoyed from the kitchen, both bedrooms and even the bathrooms. The living and dining areas open seamlessly to a covered terrace, creating a private outdoor extension of the home. It is an ideal setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails or effortless entertaining against a backdrop of bay sunsets, illuminated city lights and aircraft quietly approaching San Diego International Airport. Inside, the residence has been thoughtfully refreshed for a sophisticated, move-in-ready experience. Brand-new premium flooring offers the refined appearance of light wood with commercial-grade durability, while both bedrooms feature brand-new carpeting. Fresh interior paint throughout creates a crisp, pristine backdrop. (see supplemental comments!) The contemporary kitchen pairs sleek European-style cabinetry with dark stone countertops, stainless-steel appliances and an expansive peninsula that opens naturally to the living and dining areas—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The desirable split-bedroom floor plan provides excellent privacy, and the primary bath features dual vanities and a walk-in shower. An in-unit washer and dryer add convenience. The location within Aria is equally impressive. Positioned at the southern end of SR-163, the building provides immediate access to San Diego's regional freeway network, while Residence 1704 faces away from the freeway and remains remarkably quiet. Two assigned parking spaces on the first garage level offer quick entry and exit with unusually easy maneuvering. The residence is just steps from the elevator, making arrivals with groceries or luggage effortless while remaining comfortably removed from elevator noise. With only four residences sharing the 17th floor, the home enjoys an additional level of privacy. A private, secure storage space is also included. Aria delivers the advantages of full-service high-rise living with an uncommon sense of community. Attentive management, professional staff, controlled access and concierge service complement a collection of amenities designed for both relaxation and connection, including a heated pool and spa, fitness center, resident lounge, conference room, event space and dedicated bicycle storage. Impeccably maintained common areas complete the experience. Set in Cortez Hill, Residence 1704 places the best of San Diego within easy reach while maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere. Balboa Park is close by for morning walks and runs, gardens, museums, theater and cultural events. Little Italy, the Gaslamp Quarter, the waterfront and San Diego's beaches are all nearby, and San Diego International Airport is just minutes away. The result is a uniquely balanced lifestyle: the city's culture, dining, entertainment, nature and connectivity are remarkably close, yet the energy and congestion of the city remain outside your door. Residence 1704 combines sweeping views, sophisticated updates, exceptional convenience and the quiet refinement of one of Aria's most desirable corner locations.
