A beautifully curated, designer-furnished 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhome nestled in the heart of 92106, with stunning SeaWorld and ocean glimpses. Simple high-end fixture upgrades, cabinet painting & hardware replacement, coupled with one-off rare vintage furnished findings made this space a quick short term corporate lease and 3x profit from previous earnings!

It's All in the Details ...
From positive affirmation stickers on a hallway mirror acting as uplifting daily reminders for this home's inhabitants, to hand crafted reupholstered seat cushions with hand-loomed artisanal mudcloth on curated vintage bamboo stools offering the persfect unique mix of organic textures within the heart of the home, to intentionally placed live greenery that allows the home to breathe just as you do in your peaceful sanctuary during a possible morning meditation; every single aspect of Nirvana's Nest homes are mindfully styled with the client, inhabitant, and vibration of the space in mind.
