More Insights
Built in 1940 (85 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940, this property retains much of its original character and has not undergone a full modern renovation. While the exterior appears well-maintained and solar panels are a modern addition, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features black cabinets with decorative, colorful tiles and older countertops, requiring a complete overhaul to meet contemporary standards. Bathrooms also exhibit older fixtures and tilework. Flooring throughout is a mix of older tiles and some darker, potentially original, surfaces. The description itself notes the 'lived-in' character and 'potential for modernization,' aligning with a property that is maintained but requires substantial updates to align with current tastes and functionality. It is not in 'poor' condition as major defects are not apparent, but it's far from 'good' or 'excellent' due to the dated interior finishes.

About this home
After four decades, the Walton Estate is hitting the market! This is a rare opportunity to own 1.3 acres in Hillcrest / Marston Hills if you purchase both parcels together—1010 and 1034 Myrtle Way. 1010 Myrtle sits on .7 acres and offers a piece of San Diego history that rarely comes up for sale. The main home is generous—seven bedrooms, eight baths, each with its own en suite, nearly 6,300 square feet of living space. The bar room is the original 1,000 square feet of the house where everything began. The current primary suite has a private garden and could be converted to an ADU if you’re looking for flexible space. Out back, you’ll find a pool and grotto inspired by Bill and Lori Walton’s travels to Australia, surrounded by mature landscaping and private paths that weave through waterfalls and a 100 year old Tipowana tree. This home is real, lived in and loved. Layers of life, gatherings, music, and memory fill these walls. The property is quiet, with space to roam and room to grow, just minutes from Balboa Park and the Zoo. This is a rare chance to take something with so much history and make it your own.
