Mission Hills is the “uptown” community which rose in the early 1900’s as the prestige “fine homes” community on the ocean-breezed hills above Downtown San Diego. Right in the heart of San Diego , she is characterized by distinctive architecture and people, 2 parks, great schools, wonderful shops and restaurants, tree-bowered streets, canyons and the convenience of being no-freeway minutes from our commercial center and most of San Diego ’s attractions. This particular home is in a northside location that, as Mastercard would say, is almost priceless.

Original 1928 Craftsman-Traditional is deliberately welcomed to the new millennium with addition of capacious family room, 2 offices, 12x10-foot wine cellar, 2 car attached garage, more.

The broad craftsman porch and front door welcome you to gracious and functional. The public rooms are comfortable for large groups. The personal rooms are all of good size, and offer excellent storage. The 3rd BR is currently used as a gym, and the finished 20x13 downstairs room beyond the wine cellar can alternate as a gym, studio of any kind, workshop, etc. The two offices, one with fabulous built-in file drawers and cabinets, answer modern family needs, and the upper could serve as guest or 4th bedroom. The deck off this room was designed to support the addition of a spa, electrical and plumbing available. Hardwood flooring, mouldings, built-in’s, 2 fireplaces, a wide center hall, higher ceilings and carefully chosen details bespeak quality.

Professionally landscaped, the garden was requested to be in the prestigious annual Garden Club Tour this year. Do not miss the dog run, fruit trees and 7-section storage building. Pine street , a traditional location for prestige and old San Diego names, is unbothered by freeway/airport and other nuisances. The community of Mission Hills is smartly located just up the hill from the coast-corner Downtown, preserving its ocean breeze benefits and riven with lush natural canyons that cause its streetS to twist. San Diego ’s botanical mother Kate Sessions had a nursery in Mission Hills, reflected in the community, and the May Garden Club tour is the most prominent in the City! Traditional Town Halls, 3 elementary schools and 3 churches, 2 parks and electic shops and eateries, Little Leagues and soccer teams,
and youngsters tuning their ipods while on the cell, Mission Hills is five minutes to our business and legal core, and 1 mile to two of San Diego ’s finest hospitals. It takes 5-7 minutes to get to the Airport, 10 to Sea World or the beach, Balboa Park is a 2-mile walk, and our architecture is as stunning and diverse as our people. Best of all, we hardly ever have to get on the freeway to go to most of the places we might wish! Some people even cab to Petco Park to cheer on the Padres, since it is often less than parking.

The apartments are legal non-conforming (built legally, down zoned since), include a shared laundry in between, and each have a very large single car garage off alley, and there is 1/2-garage sized space for additional which has 2 laundry hook-ups and a double utility sink. All units have wall furnaces, although tenants in back were told theirs may not be safe. Hardwood floors are also suspected under carpet because nice hardwoods show in the closets of 3309. Both 1BR apartments have two good sized closets in bedrooms. Tenants pay own gas and electric, as there are 3 separate meters for each. There are no pets on the property. The very good news is that tenants in all 3 units have become like 'family' to each other, no disputes that may cause landlord problems.
