This home is like something out of a fairy tale, a wonderful European style cottage with both balcony and patio for enjoying forest-like canyon views. The home feels bigger than it appears thanks to its open living room and extra office space just off the kitchen, the attic which spans almost the entire house, and the enclosed basement which is roughly 450 sq ft and opens onto the canyon patio. The original wood floors have been restored and look as if they were just installed. The classic architecture and look for this home is hard to pass up and should qualify for Mills Act designation. Sellers can provide supporting documentation, and the style is notable and nearly identical in appearance to its original design. This home is shown on p. 96 of Classic Cottages: Simple, Romantic Homes, by Brian Coleman and Douglas Keister. The builder was Frank Melcher, who built other historically designated homes in Mission Hills. Apparently this style was unusual for him, and it may have been influenced by the first owner, Jacqueline Arnaud, who taught French at Bishop's School in La Jolla. This is your opportunity to move into one of San Diego's most coveted and desirable neighborhoods, ideally located close to everything. North Mission Hills is a highly walkable neighborhood complete with great restaurants, services, and beautiful streets lined with some of San Diego's best examples of early 20th century homes. Come by and see this home; you'll be glad you did.
