A documented Mid-Century Modern residence designed by Henry Hester, built in 1959 and officially recognized as the Lyn Schwartz Residence. From the street, the low-profile post-and-beam structure immediately distinguishes itself from surrounding homes. The original architectural intent remains intact, with a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Walls of floor-to-ceiling glass face west and north, opening the living areas to the panoramic views on a private lot. The original open floor plan is centered around a stone fireplace, maintaining the home’s architectural focus. Hard-surface flooring runs throughout. The kitchen has been fully renovated and features Miele appliances, including an 8-burner dual-fuel range, built-in coffee system, and built in refrigerator. A large island with custom cabinetry anchors the space, along with a mini-bar and wine refrigerator. The primary suite captures breathtaking views and opens to the deck and poolside lounge area. The remodeled primary bathroom includes a soaking tub, custom shower, and a spacious closet area. The other two bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home and open to a private covered patio. The hall bathroom has also been renovated with thoughtful design upgrades. The outdoor living areas include a built-in BBQ, fire pit, multiple seating and entertaining zones, a pergola-shaded sitting area beneath a mature podacarpus tree, and a custom spa with fire and waterfall features, all anchored by a Palm Springs–inspired pool. The full impact of this home can only be experienced in person. College View Estates is a vibrant and distinct mid-century neighborhood holding traditions such as the First Friday – where neighbors gather monthly for a happy hour style of socializing at a new home each month, the Annual Block Party with a Kona ice truck, entertainment for the kids with rock climbing wall and more, and the Annual Progressive Dinner. This neighborhood is truly is a San Diego’s hidden gem- situated between the gated Alvarado Estates Community and SDSU- it’s tucked away just enough to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but close enough to shopping like Trader Joe’s, a multitude of dining options, walking distance the Aztec Gym, tennis, swimming, and Viejas Arena for year around entertainment.
