A rare opportunity to own one of only a handful of homes along the coveted “Kalmia Loop.” Offered for the first time in decades and only the second ownership in its history, this 1934 residence is filled with original character, architectural detail and incredible potential, all set against sweeping views of San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline and golf course. From the front porch, enjoy the views before stepping inside to tall coved ceilings, a classic Batchelder fireplace and formal dining room with original 1934 built-ins. The kitchen offers space for eat-in seating and connects to a dedicated laundry room. The home features a primary bedroom with en suite bath, secondary bedroom with adjoining bonus room, and a separate office overlooking the golf course. Outside, the tiered backyard descends toward the golf course with views of the downtown skyline. A finished basement of approximately 400 sf with a separate entrance offers additional flexible space. Additional improvements include dual-pane windows, a 200-amp electrical panel, newer A/C and ducting, and an upgraded ABS main plumbing line beneath the home. With its original details, incredible setting and location that rarely becomes available, 2881 Kalmia Pl is a special opportunity to restore and reimagine a distinctive piece of San Diego history.
