'Heart and Soul' is what you will experience in this state-of-the-art Craftsman home (circa 1918), known as one of San Diego's precious gems, Mills Act designated via the San Diego Historical Resources Board. This saves the current owner thousands of dollars in property taxes yearly and will save you the same! Lovingly maintained and updated, this home rests on a beautiful street of graceful palms and enjoys wonderful canyon views & privacy galore
From the moment one approaches the walk to the beautiful covered front porch and the exquisite Craftsman-era front door with its beveled windows, one feels as if he/she has gone back in time to the year 1918. Your guests will enter into the 27-foot living room complete with finished beam ceilings and the original Douglas fir floors. The original brick-pattern fireplace used in the living room remains as well as the beautiful Craftsman-style windows. The main floor of the home also enjoys a dining room that looks into the beautifully re-crafted kitchen with granite counter tops and large granite eating bar. A charming den/TV room with a stunning art-glass window is also found in this area. A central staircase glides up to the second floor to four bedrooms and more expansive canyon views. The home boasts a hallway with large linen cabinets and beautiful Douglas fir floors. The original one-car detached garage has been converted to a quaint storage/garden house which also houses the washer and dryer, and a versatile carport has been added to allow for covered parking. The rear yard is a charming sun-lit area perfect for picnics, play or just relaxing. Views of the verdant canyon and Mission Valley are yours to enjoy from the private back yard and from the home itself. This wonderful property was designed/built by David O. Dryden and was known to be his flagship two-story home. Mr. Dryden was known for his beautifully constructed Craftsman bungalows and was considered to be one of the best and most innovative architects of his time. A stunning, tree-lined neighborhood, combined with a super-convenient location and an authentic, historically significant home, can be your 'dream come true'. Welcome home!
