Owner's Profile
Owner Description
I purchased this Property over ten years ago while visiting from Northern California. I am the second Owner since 1927, and spent nearly two years full time -- remodeling the multi level Compound and designing/installing all the patios and gardens. The property was ready for an extensive Make Over -- but had great "bones" and a terrific central location. Living just 3 homes from the Park is a great Bonus -- 1200 acres of open space and mature landscaping right in the middle of the City! And the Park is beautifully maintained and a Cultural Destination, as well.
The Unique Benefits of this Duplex Home
The walled private grounds of this Estate property are a rare find this close to Downtown and central San Diego. The triple lot parcel covers nearly an acre -- and offers a Resort like setting with its tropical palms, bouganvillea, fountain, and numerous stone patios -- an ideal Hideaway for visitors seeking a quiet place to read, relax, and unwind.
