"The Mabel Whitsitt House" is one of the finest examples of Spanish Colonial Revival homes in San Diego. Built by W.R. Abbott in 1935, then lovingly restored by a noted European artist, this home features a stunning blend of art & architecture. Highlights include a Batchelder fireplace, Chef's kitchen, skylights & original hardwood and tile flooring. Located in the historic Burlingame neighborhood, it has the added benefit of having the Mills Act in place, minimizing property taxes. The chef's kitchen features handcrafted wood beams, hand-finished cabinets and a Greco-Roman mosaic tile backsplash. It is equipped with a Wolf oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, built-in Dacor microwave and wine refrigerator. The home has original hardwood floors, and Venetian plaster and faux finished walls throughout, with room-brightening skylights in the kitchen and guest bath and bedroom.
