Smartly Designed Loft Living in the Heart of San Diego! Welcome to The Sherwood, a small and intimate community in the highly central Morena area, where convenience meets easy, low-maintenance living. This charming two-story condo offers approximately 700 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space, with a unique open loft design that makes the most of every inch. The main living area is located downstairs with fresh paint, an open and functional layout, and a cozy fireplace that adds warmth and character. A convenient half bath completes the lower level. Upstairs, the spacious loft-style bedroom is open to the living area below, creating an airy, connected feel rather than a traditional enclosed bedroom. A generous closet provides ample storage, while a full bathroom completes the upper level. The flexible loft layout offers separation between living and sleeping spaces while maintaining an open, contemporary feel. The Sherwood is a small five-unit community offering a more intimate atmosphere than a typical condo complex. Each owner has an individual garage, plus a private parking area for residents and two additional guest spaces. Residents also enjoy shared on-site laundry, and the HOA fee includes water for added convenience. And then there’s the location — this is where 5757 Gaines really shines. Positioned in central San Diego, you’re just minutes from Old Town, Mission Bay, Fashion Valley, USD, major shopping, restaurants and multiple freeway connections. USD is close enough to walk to, while the Morena/Linda Vista Trolley Station is approximately 0.6 mile away, making car-free trips around San Diego easy. Old Town Transit Center is about 1.5 miles away, Mission Bay and the beaches are about 4 miles away, putting beaches, bayside recreation and waterfront dining within easy reach. Whether you're looking for a first home, an easy San Diego pied-à-terre, or a low-maintenance property in an exceptionally connected location, this inviting loft-style condo delivers a unique combination of character, functionality and location.
