Property description
This 1932 stone house, reminiscent of a French farmhouse, is set in the small community of Descanso, just 40 minutes from San Diego. Immerse yourself in the mountains, clear skies and fresh air. No need to travel abroad and restore an old European home when this unique opportunity is so close to the best city in the U.S.A. Tucked away, it is 5 minutes to the freeway and 5 more minutes to shopping & restaurants. This property has 2 separate parcels (almost an acre) with room for an ADU and another home. Charming interior with a fireplace in the living room and another fireplace in the dining room! The attic is large enough to accommodate another bedroom or a loft. A sunroom is located off of the dining room and living room, for your morning coffee and serves as an extension for entertaining. Deep-set casement windows are throughout the home which affords wonderful views of old oak trees, pines, cedar and nature wherever you look. The property has numerous old rock walls just waiting for a garden filled with flowers and vegetables. There is also a large chicken coop for your hens to enjoy fresh eggs. Although it is located on a rural highway, it is set back far enough for privacy and solitude. You can look forward to an occasional winter dusting of snow, stunning sunsets, dark skies for astrophotography, close access to Lake Cuyamaca, the desert and numerous hiking trails. This property needs some upgrading and remodeling, but you will be the proud owner of this unique and rare property to share with family and friends. SEE SUPPLEMENT and Documents for other features!
