    What's special

    Tucked into one of San Diego’s most walkable and eclectic neighborhoods of Normal Heights, this completely turn-key 1926 Spanish bungalow blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates and an outdoor space that’s nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you arrive, the classic stucco exterior, original arched details, and welcoming front porch set the tone for a home that’s rich in character. Inside, enjoy a bright and open floorplan filled with warmth—rich wood-like floors, coved ceilings, and vintage-inspired fixtures are paired with modern upgrades for everyday comfort and style. The true magic, however, lies outside. Situated on a rare usable lot with alley access, the backyard has been masterfully transformed into a private sanctuary designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A custom-built al fresco dining area sits beneath twinkling string lights, creating the perfect setting for dinner parties or laid-back weekends. A dedicated gardening nook and greenhouse invite your green thumb to flourish, while the expansive grassy area offers plenty of room for kids and pets to play. This home is more than just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle. Located just steps from Adams Avenue’s buzzing restaurants, cafes, bars, and boutiques, you can leave the car behind and walk to everything. Whether you're exploring local music and art, grabbing coffee with friends, or biking through nearby parks, this location puts you in the center of it all. Charming, updated, and incredibly livable—this Normal Heights gem is ready for its next chapter. All that’s missing is you.
