This is the MILLS ACT home you have been waiting for! A remarkable Mission Hills Prairie style historic home, ideally located in North Mission Hills just steps away from the very best this community has to offer. With 4 bedrooms (current layout offers an optional 5th bedroom or office), an updated and open concept kitchen and great room, alley access with two car garage, a flat and well manicured lush backyard with a green lawn and raised garden bed, this home is truly a rare find. Constructed by master architect and builder Nathan Rigdon and designated a historic landmark (S.H Newell, Jr spec house #1), this 1916 masterpiece envelops a timeless era of true craftsmanship, custom woodwork, interior gumwood and oak moldings, paneling, trim, and time period built-ins throughout. History meets modern conveniences from the wide oak front door to the updated kitchen and high-end appliances; newer washer and dryer, rebuilt gas fireplace, air conditioning, remodeled bathrooms, outdoor kitchen and fireplace, large bedrooms, and oversized primary suite with French doors leading to a well appointed balcony perfect for viewing the SeaWorld fireworks in the distance. Pride of ownership abounds and the benefit of highly reduced property taxes prevails. The inspired oak banister with a classic prairie style pattern is the focal point of the home's entry. Elegance and charm continue to permeate this residence in the time-styled accents, including the raised claw foot bathtub, double hung wood-framed windows, and sliding glass-paned pocket doors separating the designated dining room from the formal living room. Those who know and appreciate the intrinsic value of Mission Hills and the timeless fabric of this special community are sure to agree that this home truly stands out amongst the rest. Situated in the heart of the neighborhood, this home is just a few blocks from both Presidio Park and Pioneer Park. Easy access to the Mission Hills Business district (under 1 mile away featuring locally owned boutiques and restaurants), and a hop, skip, and a jump from Old Town where you can soak in the culture, heritage, vibrant restaurants, live music, golf course, museums and farmers market. Widely regarded as one of San Diego's finest neighborhoods, Mission Hills features elegant homes along tree-lined streets, a thriving business district, and above all, a strong sense of community. With its lush landscaping and winding canyons, navigating through Mission Hills is like entering another era – truly timeless. Its central location and easy transportation access means you are just minutes from all that San Diego has to offer. Its prime location allows residents to quickly get to Mission Valley and Fashion Valley to the east, downtown, Balboa Park, and Coronado to the south, and of course, the beautiful beaches to the west.
