Property Description

Step into a true 1950s time capsule in Western Hills, San Diego, just above Bay Park. This charming bungalow offers ocean views, a wonderful San Diego location, and an incredible level of original character that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Remarkably preserved, the home still showcases its original hardwood floors, vintage pink stove and oven, pink-tiled bathroom, original cabinetry, and period details throughout. There are 3 bedrooms & 2 baths, including a primary bedroom with its own en suite bath. The dining area also provides additional flexibility and could be used as a 4th bedroom. Walking through the home feels like stepping back in time and offers a rare glimpse into an earlier era of Bay Park and Western Hills living. The home's western exposure is part of what makes the setting so special. Natural light fills the home throughout the afternoon, while ocean views and San Diego sunsets create a beautiful backdrop from this coveted Western Hills location. For the buyer searching for a vintage home in San Diego, this is a rare opportunity to preserve the home's authentic 1950s character, thoughtfully restore it, or reimagine it for the future while retaining the details that make it so memorable.
