Offered for the first time in nearly half a century, this extraordinary residence presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of San Diego's architectural heritage. This home was designed and built in 1913 by renowned master architect Joel E Brown and is known as the Wagenhals/ Brown House, Historic Landmark 593. The property was once home to celebrated artist Katherine Wagenhals, from 1921 to 1927, adding artistic legacy to its rich history. Beyond its historical charm and timeless character it also offers the advantage of the Mills Act being in place which provides a substantial financial savings on the property taxes. Tucked into the heart of historic Mission Hills the iconic Wagenhals/Brown House offers a rare opportunity to experience the timeless beauty of a true Craftsman masterpiece. Inside sunlight pour into every bedroom illuminating the home's original oak floors. Dual doors from both the living room and family room open wide to the patio creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that fills the home with light and fresh air. There are two fireplaces to that create inviting spaces to gather on those chilly days or nights. Two separate offices provide flexible space for working from home, creative pursuits or potential bedrooms. Outside the property shines with a beautiful patio designed for relaxing with friends and family. A truly rare amenity in Mission Hills is the 2, two car detached garages. One garage even features a mechanics pit for auto aficionado wanting to work on their own vehicles. Additionally there is a storage building and exterior cabinets that provide plenty of storage.
