Built in 1961 by the Drogin Construction Company is this
Palmer & Krisel-designed midcentury home in San Diego’s Pacifica
neighborhood. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,792 square feet, a two
car garage and a backyard with sweeping views of Mission Bay, the asking price
of this home is $1,150,000.
Situated on a 6,800 square-foot elevated corner lot, this property
features a shallow low-maintenance front yard, filled with brick pavers and low
ground cover plantings. Hidden behind the plantings just to the left of the
front door t lies a full wall of classic Krisel H-shadow block, waiting for a
new owner to expose them again. The double front door sits recessed at the
center of the home, and leads visitors and guests into the long and linear
living room.

The home features its original open beamed vaulted
ceilings, adding height and volume to the interior space. Krisel’s signature
modernist fireplace lies toward the back of the living room, with an open
corner facing toward the dining/family room. The family/dining room area
features large floor-to-ceiling windows and clerestories offering panoramic
unobstructed views of Mission Bay.

The kitchen sits open to the family/dining room, and has
been renovated with a modernist nod. The cabinetry is sleek and low-profile
with minimal ornamentation topped with granite countertops and stainless steel
appliances. An open breakfast bar allows the kitchen views of the backyard and
Mission Bay beyond.

The bedrooms are all still in their original configurations,
with the master bedroom at the rear corner of the home and the secondary
bedrooms in-line along the northern side of the home. The master features a
sliding glass door accessing the backyard and an updated master bath. The
master bath features a floating vanity, a nice nod to the original design style
of the home, and updated fixtures. The guest bath has also been updated in a
similar style, with floating vanity and updated fixtures.

The backyard is open an d paved with red bricks and
concrete, allowing for a large, flexible open entertaining space. A portion of
the patio is covered to allow for year-round entertaining and dining. An
above-ground hot tub sits off the master bedroom, and offers views of the city
an bay beyond.
The views in this midcentury modern San Diego home alone are
worth a million dollars, and the updates have been done with respect to the
architectural style of the property.
