Property Detail

Description

Prepare to be enchanted by this classic 1913 Craftsman bungalow nestled in the heart of North Mission Hills! On the Registry of San Diego Landmarks, this exceptional home exhibits meticulous craftsmanship and design throughout. Perched above the street on a shady corner lot, this 2644 sq. ft. home is part of the legacy of Martin Melhorn, who built a number of homes that help define the character of Mission Hills. Featuring exposed eaves and rafters, extensive built-ins, and an inviting wraparound front porch, the builder made extensive use of rounded river rock, or cobblestone, on the surrounding walls, pillars, and paths, hence the name Crone’s Cobblestone Cottage. An architect-designed addition enlarged the cottage to 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Surrounded by lush gardens, a stone fountain, and mature landscaping, this will be the perfect home for those who prize enduring architectural beauty.
