About This Home
As of June 2021Charm radiates from every pore of this storybook, 1930s Craftsman located in the heart of Historic La Mesa Village! The 270 s.f. front veranda is the perfect spot to watch parents pushing prams and dogs pulling owners. Alley access to surprisingly large back yard with room for a plunge pool and ADU! Designed for Willard B Merrick in 1931 by noted Architect Herman Louis Bodmer (works and clientele include California Pacific International Exposition Federal Building Balboa Park, San Diego Banks, Ford Motor Co, San Diego Airport), owners have lovingly preserved the original beauty. Quick walk to restaurants and boutiques. See supplement for recent upgrades. Recent Upgrades: New steel posts installed in early 2021 to correct floor settling; work underway to install main power panel and line to support a 200 amp circuit (currently 100 amp) owners waiting for new panel to arrive from SDG&E; new butcher block kitchen counter and new sink; LG Fridge less than one year old; LG washer approx one year old; installed security camera system with its own DVR - currently six cameras but can support eight; water treatment system piped into plumbing (not used since 2018); irrigation system installed in 2007 works great. Floated wood floor installed in 2011 in the original 1932 garage and wired it for internet and surround sound, lots of outlets - perfect for man cave or workshop. There is also a 240V electrical line run to rear of man cave if someone wants to install a split unit AC/Heat.
