About this home

Timeless Spanish character meets thoughtful modern updates in this inviting 1927 Normal Heights home. Refinished white oak floors, custom built-ins, and generous windows bring warmth and natural light to the living room, while the kitchen’s built-in wraparound dining nook creates a welcoming spot for morning coffee, everyday meals, and conversation. A beautifully remodeled bathroom complements the home’s vintage personality, while ductless mini-split heating and cooling, a tankless water heater, and fully owned solar add everyday convenience. Smart features include motorized window shades, Wi-Fi-enabled light switches, and mini-split controls accessible through Google Home and compatible apps. Extensive improvements since 2022 include foundation work with additional concrete piers and seismic strapping, subarea drainage with a sump pump, a sewer liner, a replacement main gas line, electrical updates, exterior stucco restoration and paint, and new wood fencing. Outside, the backyard feels like an extension of the home, a cozy area with artificial turf, gardening areas, and inviting spaces to gather or unwind. Picture morning coffee in the fresh air, an afternoon tending your plants, or dinner with friends beneath the San Diego sky. A finished detached work-from-home studio/office offers a separate setting for focused work or creative pursuits, just steps from the house. This bonus space is not included in the home’s stated square footage. Full of personality and thoughtfully updated, this Spanish-style retreat brings together vintage appeal, modern comforts, and space to enjoy life indoors and out.
