This residence is a blending of Craftsman, Prairie and English styles, a trademark of its architect William Sterling Hebbard. The house was commissioned by Erastus Bartlett, a major developer and promoter of the South Park neighborhood, for his mother and sister. It has also been home to Fred Hakel, a renowned violinist who played with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra in the early 20th Century. The home received its historic designation in 1999 and has undergone multiple remodel and restoration projects in the ensuing years. The entry foyer is a wonderful wood detailed vestibule that leads to all parts of the home. The wood detailing from the formal living room to the formal dining room is the stuff of craftsman dreams. There are built-in bookcases, picture rails, and 4 (FOUR) fireplaces that dot the landscape, all having renovation work completed by Authentic Fireplaces. Three of them even have the original Grueby Tile. Off the dining room there is a wonderful office or reading room that gazes out at the tree lined neighborhood around. The gourmet kitchen is definitely one of the show-stoppers for this property. Grand in scale and drenched in light, this truly is the family gathering place. The home might be historic, but a Sub-Zero refrigerator, dual-fuel Wolf Range and a Bosch dishwasher are the backbone of modern happiness. You will love the romantic breakfast nook and looking out through the walls of paned glass overlooking beautiful gardens. The kitchen also features a spacious Quartz Island with the surrounding perimeter counters being classic Soapstone. The upstairs houses all of the sleeping quarters. The rooms are generous and the Primary Bedroom plus the other end bedroom have their own working fireplaces. The detailing and window patterns here have the same special and warm feeling as the rest of the home. The stairwell is perfect and a sun-drenched hallway connects all of the rooms. Upstairs you have direct access to a beautiful terrace, which not only affords excellent retreat options but also ensures all parts of the home are seamlessly connected to the outdoors. Both baths have been remodeled and feature Carrera marble counters and are conveniently located on each floor. There are options for natural bath additions which gives flexibility to any future owner. Finally, stepping out from the kitchen into the gardens, you will get lost in the beauty of South Park living. The gardens have been nurtured and are truly a gardener’s dreamscape. The large 2-car garage is free standing with a wide generous driveway offering plenty of additional off street parking. Additional features include a tankless water heater, fence replacement, garage door replacement, electric panel upgrade, bird screens at the roof eaves, refinished hardwood floors… and to top it all off an approximately 200sf basement which currently is used for laundry but perhaps a wine cellar should be considered… This home has truly been a loving passion for all who have resided here. Mills Act designation offers dramatic reduction in annual property taxes. A property like this only comes along every once in a long while so come see and experience it for yourself.
