Step into South Park's storied past! This enchanting 1908 Arts & Crafts bungalow is one of the neighborhood's founding homes, built before South Park's transformative 1911 housing boom. The historically designated Lizzie and Gerald DeStafford House showcases quintessential Craftsman architecture with its distinctive gable roof, exposed rafters, and character-rich wood siding. Currently configured as two units - a quant 2BR/1BA front residence and a private 1BR/1BA back unit added in the 1950s. This is a unique opportunity to own a foundational piece of South Park's rich architectural history while benefiting from the significant tax advantages of the Mills Act designation. This is more than a house; it's a preserved chapter of San Diego's heritage, waiting for its next steward to continue its legacy. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own one of South Park's original treasures!
