Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1916 and held by the same owner for 60 years, the property is a well-preserved historic home but is significantly dated by modern standards. While the mahogany craftsmanship is excellent, the vintage bathroom, dated wallpaper, and old carpeting indicate a need for major cosmetic updates and likely system overhauls.
Designed by legendary architect Emmor Brooke Weaver, this 1916 Craftsman features rare mahogany coffered ceilings and original period details that offer significant historical value and character.
The property includes a fully detached 1-bedroom ADU, providing excellent flexibility for high-yield rental income, a premium guest house, or multi-generational living arrangements.
Situated on a commanding corner lot across from Maple Canyon Trail, the home offers exceptional walkability to Balboa Park, Little Italy, and iconic San Diego landmarks.
As a 100-plus-year-old historic property, owners may face higher ongoing maintenance costs and strict preservation guidelines regarding renovations or exterior modifications.
With a 4,871 sqft lot accommodating a 3,200 sqft main house, an ADU, and a 2-car garage, the remaining private yard space may feel constrained for buyers seeking expansive outdoor areas.
