Built in 1933

This 1933 Spanish Colonial Revival home is a rare find. Built in the historic North Kensington neighborhood, the residence exudes timeless character from its courtyard fountain entry and rustic doorway to its elegant formal living room with high-beam ceilings illuminated by picture windows, and a fireplace adorned in Batchelder tile. Other finer features including original hardware, various built-ins, antique light fixtures and classic bathroom tile remind you of the elegance of a bygone era. Over time, owners have modernized the home while keeping true to its original charm. Upgrades like quartz countertops in the corridor kitchen, a remodeled en-suite master bathroom with a glass enclosed/dual headed shower, and an updated electric panel with a newer HVAC system and ducting. The crawl space is reinforced. The support beams in the two-car detached garage are re-engineered. No expense was spared in maintaining the home. The elongated four-car driveway leads through a Spanish-style gate into a secure private backyard that is surrounded by lush, irrigated landscaping and fruit bearing trees passion fruit, banana, lemon, and orange. This private yard has ample patio space to enjoy and a wired Pergola with a TV mounted for entertainment. Kensington is San Diego's best known Spanish Colonial neighborhood and is a world unto itself. Kensington is kid friendly, very walkable, and its residents enjoy multiple boutiques, cafes, restaurants, parks, and community events. The home is central and easily accessible from downtown San Diego, Coronado Island, and the airport. Come visit
