Now Offered at $898K.
Charm, character, and a sweet bit of history in one of San Diego’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
This updated 2 bed / 2 bath Talmadge bungalow delivers a surprisingly spacious everyday experience with bright living spaces, an efficient kitchen, and a flexible second bedroom that works beautifully as an office, guest room, or creative studio.
Outside, the wrap-around hardscape creates three distinct zones, front porch people-watching, a sunny side patio for long lunches and evening dinners, and a rear patio for relaxation.
You’re minutes to Kensington and Normal Heights favorites on Adams Ave (coffee, yoga, dining, indie shops) with quick access across the city. Prefer a condo alternative without shared walls or HOA? This is the one.
Offered at $898K. Private showings available.
Historic style meets modern comfort.
Step inside to bright, airy rooms filled with natural light and timeless Craftsman details. The smart layout maximizes every square foot, while updates like LVP floors, recessed lighting, and a refreshed kitchen and baths bring a fresh, modern feel. Every aspect of the home’s design is meant to be both comfortable and functional…so whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet night in, it always feels just right.
Both of the two bedrooms are bright, serene retreats with clean lines and plenty of natural light. The primary bedroom features mirrored closets for generous storage and space to create a cozy reading nook or workspace.
The two full bathrooms are thoughtfully updated, one with a deep soaking tub and modern vanity, the other with a sleek walk-in shower and custom slate tile.
Warm, contemporary finishes and smart layouts make each space feel fresh yet timeless, so you can move in and enjoy without lifting a finger.
Comfort, style, and a place to recharge.
The sunny front porch is your morning coffee spot, soon framed by lush Eugenia hedges for privacy. High-end turf keeps the front garden green year-round with little maintenance, while the side patio with brand new pavers and french drains are perfect for outdoor dining.
In the back, a cozy garden and seating area create a peaceful retreat for reading, relaxing, or sipping wine with friends. With no big lawn to maintain, every space is ready to enjoy, not work on.
Private spaces for every mood.
