This 1888 San Diego Victorian Has a Hidden Speakeasy
Perched in San Diego's Banker's Hill with skyline views to match, this restored 1888 Victorian is equal parts architectural time capsule and full-on flex. Reddit is obsessed — and mildly distracted by the flight path.
A Speakeasy, a Spiral Staircase, and 30+ Chandeliers
This 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 6,122-square-foot Victorian has been meticulously restored, and the details go all in: over 30 chandeliers and custom sconces, a dramatic freestanding spiral staircase, a reimagined vintage elevator, and a hidden speakeasy tucked away for entertaining. A third-floor primary retreat comes with multiple view decks overlooking the harbor, downtown skyline, and the Coronado Bridge.
Gorgeous, Historic, and Directly Under the Flight Path
The catch, according to Reddit: the home sits in the final approach for San Diego International Airport, with planes passing roughly every 20 seconds during peak hours. Longtime San Diegans in the comments say you get used to it — though "used to it" apparently still means pausing your conversation mid-sentence on a regular basis.
