This fully remodeled 1936 Spanish masterpiece is located on a quiet street in the desirable neighborhood of north Kensington and offers a blend of classic charm and sophistication. Its seamless layout is thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and style. The breathtaking living room showcases beautiful hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, a stunning iron-and-crystal chandelier, exposed wooden beams and several large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light. A traditional arched entryway welcomes you into the private dining room, featuring large windows, a Spanish tray ceiling and a second iron chandelier; creating an elegant atmosphere perfect for meals and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen was tastefully renovated and equipped with a dual oven, six-burner range with exhaust hood, high-end cabinetry, natural quartzite countertops, and a charming breakfast nook; perfect for a casual meal or your morning coffee. Wake up to stunning sunrises and sweeping views of Mt. Helix from the upstairs bedrooms; one with a private balcony ideal for relaxing with a book or evening wine. Step outside to a covered patio overlooking a private, serene backyard sanctuary, thoughtfully landscaped with native, drought-tolerant plants and mature trees that create a canopy of shade and bursts of seasonal color. Ideally situated in a prime location with convenient freeway access, this eclectic residence is just moments from the vibrant charm of Adams Ave, offering easy access to shops, dining and entertainment in one of San Diego’s most distinguished and desirable neighborhoods. This home is an excellent Mills Act candidate. If the new owners were to have this property historically designated, they would benefit from a substantial property tax reduction.
