About This Property
Historic elegance and master craftsmanship, seamlessly paired with modern appointments. A true Spanish Revival. Originally constructed in 1935, this Dennstedt built masterpiece has been featured in multiple architectural and lifestyle publications since its conception. The old warm charm of archways, curved wall-to-ceiling transitions, original slat hardwood, and mosaic-tiled bathrooms are lovingly preserved while allowing for premium upgrades to blend unnoticed. Entering through a formal courtyard into the marbled entry, the interior has been thoroughly improved with high-end appliances, RO system, primary dual walk-in closets, custom window treatments, designer paints and custom lighting, dual cased windows, and efficiency improvements. Enjoy the serene yard space with mature citrus trees, a fully functional outdoor kitchen and fireplace. Owned solar, Whole-house Tesla Battery, and Hard-wired Tesla car charger. Centrally located, 5494 Adams Avenue is within close proximity to all San Diego has to offer while still feeling like a tranquil retreat.
