Welcome to Talmadge, one of San Diego's most sought after communities and steeped in the history of 1920's Hollywood elite. This home is a testament to timeless design and superior craftsmanship, having been built by and resided in by local prominent builder John Lovett, and has strong potential for an historic designation/Mills Act. The charming brick front porch, adorned with elegant columns & arches, invites you into this remarkable home. Bathed in natural light, the newly refinished original hardwood floors exude warmth and elegance. The open yet traditional floorplan showcases the home's original character, enhanced by modern updates. The kitchen boasts new quartz countertops & Viking range/oven. The home offers 3 generous bedrooms and 2 beautifully renovated bathrooms that honor the home's historic charm. The garage has been thoughtfully converted into overflow living space or a great office, providing extra space for guests while maintaining ample off-street parking with an extended driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles. A large storage shed beside the garage offers additional storage solutions. The expansive backyard is perfect for entertaining, featuring a built-in grill with concrete countertops, deck and patio, built-in seating surrounding a fire pit, and a dedicated dog-run area. Brand-new roof (2024), tankless hot water heater, and forced air heating and cooling. 4715 49th Street has strong potential for historic designation and a subsequent Mills Act award, if pursued by the next steward of this special property, possibly resulting in significant property tax savings while calling a little piece of our San Diego heritage "home".
