The Temple Residence is available for the first time on the market in three generations! Built in 1938, the original home was designed by Frank Hope Jr. with an addition by Dennstedt & Dell'Acqua in 1953. Frank Hope Jr. was one of San Diego's most prominent architects who reshaped San Diego and designed a large number of projects including San Diego (Qualcomm / Jack Murphy) Stadium, parts of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Timken Museum of Art, parts of San Diego State University and UCSD, and many commercial and civic buildings. He worked under Richard Requa and Herbert Jackson in his early career, which shaped his future as a leading architect for projects around San Diego. Exuding timeless character, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Mission Hills home is a rare gem ready to shine! Set on a flat, terraced lot (5700 sqft) and tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, much of the home lives on a single story at street level. Enjoy original wood floors in your expansive living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A large skylight and wall of windows flood the dining room with natural light, illuminating the wood paneling that lends a warm elegance. Cooking is a breeze in the bright kitchen adorned with a breakfast nook with vaulted ceilings and tall windows. Two bedrooms offer comfortable repose, including the primary suite with its dual closets, a vintage dressing room, and a convenient ensuite bathroom. Your private backyard is ideal for creating a tranquil retreat with its loquat and lemon trees. Imagine dining alfresco with meals on the brick patio. Adding to this dwell
