Nestled in San Diego’s Pacifica neighborhood is this 1960
Palmer & Krisel-designed upwardly expanded home with sweeping city views.
Built by the Drogin Construction Company, this home includes four bedrooms and
three bathrooms in 2,290 square feet, a two car garage, in-ground pool with
above-ground spa, and a large open second floor addition with an asking price
of $1,295,000.

| Front of home |
The exterior of the home generally retains its midcentury
modern Krisel lines, with vertical board and batten siding combined with a sand
stucco finish and natural stone veneered chimney. The second story addition at
the rear of the home is somewhat visible from the street, but unlike many
others we’ve seen, is not overpowering in design. A lush, mature water
conserving front yard compliments the home and welcomes visitors to the front
door.
