Set above the street on one of North Park’s inviting residential blocks, this 1926 Spanish-style home blends original character with thoughtful modern updates. Terracotta steps and an arched entry lead into a light-filled living room with hardwood floors, a barrel ceiling, classic fireplace, and large picture window. An arched opening connects to the formal dining room, where a tray ceiling, wood trim, and picture rail add warmth and character. The updated kitchen features generous wood cabinetry, (see supl) stainless steel appliances, induction cooktop, ample counter space, and a portable center work island. The spacious primary suite includes hardwood floors, excellent closet space, and a private bath with a vessel sink, colorful tilework, and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or working from home, including one with a built-in Murphy bed. Outside, the private backyard features multiple patio areas, a synthetic lawn, and space for dining, gardening, and entertaining. Solar panels with a backup battery (fully paid off) add energy efficiency, and seismic retrofitting of the foundation has been completed for peace of mind. A long driveway offers extra off-street parking and leads to a detached two-car garage, plus a large shed for storage. Located just a few blocks from Morley Field in Balboa Park, the home is close to tennis, swimming, disc golf, the dog park, and miles of recreation. North Park’s restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, and entertainment are nearby, with convenient access to downtown, the San Diego Zoo, the airport, freeways, and beaches
