It doesn't get any better than this!
True... it's a 50 x 120 lot in Olde Mission Hills... but... it is a T lot at the intersection of Lyndon Road. Providing more privacy... space... and a view into the wonderful neighborhood. This is San Diego at it's finest!... The homes on the left of Lyndon Road... back to a canyon with little useable space... and few with any garage space. I sat down on the bench... wished I had a glass of wine. This is why homes had front porches. You did not hide in the back yard from neighbors... you welcomed them into your life. Everybody knew everybody. Sounds fun huh?

This is the rear of the home to show the attention to detail when the back wall was extended. The entry alcove has doors to the master suite on the left... and the second bedroom... office... den... on the right. Note the fascia treatment copied. Note the front porch square tapered column treatment copies. Not the non functional exposed eaves and rafter ends over the new sash windows. This is how to correctly add on to a Craftsman Bungalow. Nothing lost... space created... style protected.
Now this is a carriage house. By the way... termite clearance for this "Treasure" will not be provided :-) But... here's the incredible value. Try and find a Mission Hills Historic treasure with space to have a real garage. Picture a three car garage with alley access... would have to get city of San Diego approval. But... this is a very rare opportunity to have the best of history... and a 21st Century Garage for the toys. One toy should be a Model T... don't you think? Another idea... needing City approval would be a new garage with granny suite or rental above. Not currently zoned for a second dwelling... but a second unit for family would be easily imagined.
Frank Lloyd Wright was famous for designing homes that made the most of small city lots. In his Usonian homes... were designed with this aspect key to their function. The Craftsman Bungalows were more of a spin on his Prairie homes... but this space utility and privacy... as well as a oneness with nature... it pure Frank Lloyd Wright. Isn't it incredible that an man born in 1867... would have designed the solution to "Stress in the 21st Century"? As "Craftsman Bungalow" from the rear .... as it is from the front... it is a "Diamond... not in the rough"
