!COMING SOON! The Sarah Elston Residence, designed c.1909 by Master Architect and Master Builder H.H. Preibisius. :: This exceptionally rare example of an early twentieth-century Arts & Crafts West Coast Shingle Style Estate stands as one of San Diego's best surviving expressions of the American Craftsman movement. Occupying a privileged position along Historic 7th Avenue, directly adjacent to Balboa Park, the residence is gracefully sited on a predominantly level 10,500-square-foot parcel overlooking the historic gardens and mature tree canopy of the Marston House. The setting is remarkable—urban yet secluded, architectural yet deeply connected to nature. Distinguished by its wood-shingle exterior, broad rooflines, deep overhangs, and masterfully composed proportions, the residence embodies the Arts & Crafts ideal of craftsmanship, material honesty, and harmony with its surroundings. Throughout the home, natural light animates richly detailed interiors where original architectural elements have been thoughtfully preserved and celebrated. In 2019, the residence underwent a comprehensive restoration and modernization guided by a profound respect for its architectural integrity, focused on preserving its historic character while discreetly integrating contemporary comforts and infrastructure. The result is a residence that retains the soul and authenticity of its 1909 origins while functioning effortlessly for modern living. The primary suite reflects this philosophy, offering a serene and luxurious retreat complete with a soaking tub, steam shower for two, dual vanities, a walk-in dressing room, and a thoughtfully integrated beverage and cosmetic chilling station. Modern conveniences—including an elevator, upgraded systems, redesigned kitchen and baths, and enhanced landscaping—have been incorporated with exceptional restraint and sensitivity. One of the home's most captivating architectural spaces is the expansive Upper Level. Reimagined as a sophisticated bunk room/guest retreat, the volume showcases the scale and character of the original roof structure while providing sleeping quarters, a family gathering space, and a full bath. It is a space both playful and memorable—equally suited to grandchildren, guests, or multigenerational living. Properties of this architectural significance are increasingly scarce. Rich in provenance, meticulously restored, and situated in one of San Diego's most historically important residential enclaves, The Elston Residence represents a singular opportunity to become the steward of an enduring architectural legacy!
