This beautifully upgraded Craftsman home, affectionately named "The Blueberry House," blends historic charm with modern comforts. Nestled in the Melhorn & Sons Historic District of University Heights, this bungalow has Mills Act approval pending for potential property tax savings. Just a short stroll to downtown University Heights and The Lafayette, the home retains its 1920s character while boasting over $65k in recent upgrades, including upgraded electrical, a new split-unit AC & heat system, and a stunning remodeled bathroom with Zellige Moroccan tile. The cozy living room features a fireplace and luxury vinyl plank flooring, while the kitchen offers ample storage and quartz countertops. The freshly landscaped front and back yards provide a peaceful retreat with plenty of space for entertaining or potential ADU expansion. A detached garage and long driveway add extra convenience. With no HOA or Mello Roos, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Diego history in one of its most vibrant neighborhoods.
