A rare blend of architectural character and sophisticated design, this 1926 Tudor Revival, built by prominent San Diego master builder Lewis Henry Dodge, has been extensively renovated while preserving the details that make it truly special. The dramatic living room features soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, original hardwood floors and a brick fireplace, anchored by an extraordinary 12-foot arched picture window that floods the room with natural light and beautifully frames the home from both inside and out. An extensive renovation took the home to the studs and thoughtfully built it back out with an emphasis on craftsmanship and high-end materials. At its heart is a spectacular kitchen featuring a 10-foot island, quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry and designer finishes. Remodeled baths feature striking checkered marble flooring, custom millwork and designer fixtures, while original woodwork, French doors and period details were carefully retained. Updated electrical, dual-zone HVAC, new ducting and extensive infrastructure improvements complete the transformation. Currently in line for historical designation this September, the property may then be eligible to pursue a Mills Act agreement, offering the potential for significant property-tax savings. Beautifully reimagined for modern living without sacrificing its soul.
