Located in the heart of north Kensington, this beautifully preserved 1925 Spanish-style home captures the perfect blend of character, warmth, and timeless design. Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by dramatic barreled ceilings, original wood floors, and a stunning Batchelder fireplace that sets the tone for the home’s classic charm. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring stone floors, granite countertops, and rich wood cabinetry, with a cozy breakfast nook accented by original built-ins and hand-troweled plaster walls. Upstairs, the entire level is dedicated to the primary suite—a private sanctuary complete with a beautiful fireplace, French doors that open to sweeping eastern views, and a balcony overlooking your own backyard oasis. Outside, the setting is pure magic: a private backyard with lush landscaping and a resort-like pool perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or soaking in the San Diego sun. Behind the garage, two additional rooms and a full bathroom offer incredible flexibility—ideal for a pool house, guest suite, home office, or creative studio. The home also features fully paid-off solar panels, offering energy efficiency and peace of mind for years to come. Set within one of San Diego’s most beloved neighborhoods, this home offers the best of Kensington living—tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and the convenience of being just a short stroll from the village’s charming restaurants, cafés, and boutique shops. A true Kensington treasure, blending classic Spanish architecture with modern comfort.

On the north end of Ibis Street, right in Mission Hills, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home has been brought back to life with a fully permitted renovation that's also respectful of the original millwork, windows, and proportions. Redone so you can just move in. Step inside to sunlit rooms and new oak floors. The kitchen was rebuilt for today’s function: quality cabinetry, solid-surface counters, new appliances, better storage, and lighting. Both bathrooms were remodeled with classic finishes including marble tile details in keeping with the restoration. A main-level bedroom and bath is complemented with three additional bedrooms upstairs offering canyon views. Outside, the property is set up for low-maintenance San Diego living with enough outdoor space for seating, plants, and entertaining. All without the constant yard work. It’s the right setup for someone who wants to lock up and go, travel, or split time between homes. And, of course, the location is the point: walkable to cafés, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites, close to schools, and just minutes to downtown, the airport, and Balboa Park. Highlights: Restored / renewed 1912 Mission Hills Craftsman. 4 bedrooms / 2 baths. New single-thin plank oak floors + period-appropriate finishes. Original wood windows and built-ins refinished. Fully renovated kitchen and baths. Main-level bedroom + bath. Low-maintenance outdoor space. Quiet, end-of-street location in Mission Hills. Close to Washington St, Ft Stockton, Lewis and Goldfinch amenities, downtown, airport, and Balboa Park. Ideal for buyers who want historic character having to redo it themselves.
