    MILLS ACT Historical Designation offering significant property tax savings. Magnificently situated in the coveted Kensington neighborhood on a pristinely maintained corner lot spanning nearly a quarter acre, this architecturally significant four bedroom, three bath residence blends timeless elegance with historic prestige. Known as "The Wonder House of Stone", this grand two-story French Eclectic estate was masterfully designed by renowned local architectural designer Ralph E. Hurlburt and constructed by Los Angeles builder L.J. Faulkner, utilizing the distinguished construction methods of celebrated New York architect Ernest Flagg. Rich in character and historical integrity, the home benefits from Mills Act designation, offering valuable property tax savings. Inside, you’ll discover a thoughtfully designed layout featuring one full bedroom and bath on the main level, ideal for guests or multigenerational living, alongside a light-filled formal living room adorned with striking wood-beamed ceilings and an original wall painting dating back to 1927. As you ascend the staircase, you are met by a charming Romeo and Juliet balcony that looks down into the living room, adding a touch of old-world romance and architectural drama to the upper level. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is complemented by two additional generously sized bedrooms, each showcasing the grace and craftsmanship emblematic of early 20th century design. An exceptionally rare offering and a true architectural treasure in one of San Diego’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
