About This Home

"30th Floor Luxury Penthouse in the Sky, Breathtaking Views Day and Night" Welcome to Sapphire Tower Penthouse A - 3001, a truly exclusive high-rise living experience. From the 30th floor, Penthouse 3001 exudes contemporary style and luxury while occupying half a floor. From its completely private elevator vestibule with elevators opening right into the home with no shared hallways or corridors to its 10.5ft floor to ceiling windows that create a wall of glass boasting breathtaking 180-degree views of San Diego’s most iconic scenes of the harbor, embarcadero, airport, little Italy, Balboa Park and city skyline; this residence is like no other. The open floor plan lends to versatile living spaces and furniture arrangements while a large chef’s kitchen and bar complete with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances anchors the room for gatherings. The bonus room can be converted easily into a 3rd bedroom with ensuite bathroom, office or den. The primary retreat and secondary bedroom encompass the east side of the residence featuring amazing city skyline views, large walk -in closets and designer bathrooms. The current owners spared no expense when updating this home from the builder. Most other units in Sapphire Tower were sold as spec homes without the thoughtful luxury upgrades featured in this residence. Upgrades such as custom electronic black-out shades, custom ceiling soffits with LED accent lighting, built-in automatic projector screen, surround sound & custom large format tile flooring throughout with metallic inlay elevate the quality of this home. Two large and very usable balconies allow for true indoor/outdoor San Diego living. No other unit downtown has the soaring ceiling heights and contemporary open feel that this residence embodies. Sapphire Tower is an exclusive boutique tower located in the Columbia District/Downtown Waterfront. The building has only 97 residences and features front desk staff 24/7, fully equipped gym, sauna, jacuzzi, community room and stylish & sunny pool deck with cabanas. HOA fees include high speed google fiber internet. The Penthouse Residence A is rarely available at Sapphire Tower and this is the highest floor ever offered for sale since construction, book an appointment for a private showing today. Seller welcomes offers for consideration.
