About this Property
Charming Craftsman Bungalow with a "Sweet" History! Step into a piece of San Diego history—this 2 bed, 2 bath bungalow was once home to Eleanor Abbott, the creator of the beloved board game CandyLand. New roof and posts and piers in 2020. Lovingly updated in 2024, this move-in-ready retreat blends vintage charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Improvements include a fully renovated mudroom, upgraded kitchen cabinets and hardware, refreshed bathrooms, new HVAC, gutters, doors, windows, insulation, vapor barrier, and even cast iron pipe replacement. The home has also been energy-proofed for year-round comfort and efficiency. The true star of the show is the outdoor space. Designed with privacy and serenity in mind, the lush landscaping includes a young hedge of Eugenias, green space in front, and multiple peaceful patios perfect for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. South-facing exposure floods the home with natural light throughout the day, and the backyard becomes especially magical at sunset. You’ll be serenaded by birdsong near the fragrant Meyer lemon tree, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. Even with its convenient location on a main street, the thoughtfully designed yard offers a sense of seclusion and retreat. This special home is a rare blend of historic
