Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1956 and held by the same family for nearly 60 years, the property is in original/vintage condition. The kitchen and bathrooms feature 30-50+ year old finishes, including dated tiling, wallpaper, and cabinetry. Given the age and lack of recent major renovations, the systems and interior require a full rehab to meet modern standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 32700, living area = 4458.
Spanning over an acre across three parcels in a prestigious Mission Hills cul-de-sac, this property offers rare scale, privacy, and the unique potential to create a massive landmark compound.
The estate commands breathtaking, multi-directional vistas including the Pacific Ocean, San Diego Bay, city lights, and the Presidio open space from its elevated vantage point.
Having been held by the same owner for nearly sixty years and built in 1956, the residence likely requires substantial capital investment to update systems and finishes to contemporary luxury standards.
The expansive 32,700 square foot lot and vintage amenities, including a tennis court and pony stable, demand significant ongoing maintenance and restoration costs.
