About This Home
As of April 2023Built in 1948 and at that time the residence of important post-war developer Jack Meiselman. This is a wonderful opportunity to own this special property in the heart of Old La Palmas. Enter the home through the front courtyard into the open living/dining area with views to the lush rear outdoor area. Artifacts from around the world: India, Tunisia, Afghanistan, etc. lend an exotic feel to the interior. Mountain views from both the front courtyard patio and the rear outdoor areas. Large covered outdoor seating area provides delightful entertaining space. Limestone tile throughout the home with the exception of the master suite. Great separation between the Master and Guest bedroom wings. Two additional guest bedrooms are currently being used as an office and a media room both with direct outdoor access. Attached casita with a separate entrance offers additional guest accommodation. This property is ready for your own personal vision and ambiance! Buyer to take over Solar Lease.
