About This Home

As of August 2020

The historically designated Casady/Decker home was originally commissioned by Si Casady in 1961 and designed by noted architect Art Decker, and then subsequently acquired and maintained by the architect himself for over 50 years. This home is an ideal exemplar of the best aspects of Southern California Midcentury Modern architecture and is qualified under the Mills Act. Constructed by the distinguished midcentury builder, John Mortenson, the home boasts quality custom craftsmanship well-appointed storage and thoroughly maintained details, with updated custom modern cabinetry and high-end appliances and fixtures throughout. This home is perfectly secluded, well set back at the end of a long private cul-de-sac lane, surrounded by an old olive grove and shaded by mature coastal oaks and eucalyptus trees. The gentle hillside orientation of the home captures expansive views of city lights and mountain sunsets. The intentional floor plan provides every room with natural views, an optimal flow for everyday living and the ideal separation of public and private wings. The setting provides the feeling of remote private living, yet the home is located less than five minutes from the dining of old town La Mesa and nearly every modern shopping convenience imaginable. The pictures speak for themselves!
