Description
Introducing the historically designated Harry Turner/Bristow & Lyman House, a 1914 residence with Mills Act reflecting an interpretation of Prairie School architecture with Spanish Renaissance influence. The home is situated on a double corner lot with alley access in San Diego's North Mission Hills neighborhood. From the street, the home presents with the low-pitched rooflines and broad eaves characteristic of Prairie architecture, while a wraparound landscape reveals a series of outdoor spaces, including a 30-foot linear fountain, gardens, multiple verandas, and a pavilion with fireplace. The interior retains significant character, including leaded glass windows and doors, wood floors, and extensive built-ins, with natural light introduced through oversized windows. The home functions as a single-story, anchored around a fireplace-centered living room that transitions to the dining room, with built-ins, french doors, and a bay window overlooking the garden. The kitchen connects directly to the veranda and was reconfigured to adjoin a family room adapted from the original third bedroom. A library sits adjacent to the living room and transitions to the primary suite, while a secondary ensuite bedroom completes the main level. The lower level provides additional flexibility with an office, bedroom or secondary living space, full bath, laundry, and a finished basement. The garage allows for pull-through access from the driveway or alley. The home offers a compelling opportunity for a buyer to further enhance the interiors while preserving its architectural integrity. Mission Hills is sought after for its convenient access to downtown San Diego, the airport, Coronado, and Balboa Park. The neighborhood's established schools, dining and retail districts contribute to its long-standing appeal. And for those drawn to historically significant architecture, this property represents a rare offering within one of San Diego's most established communities.
