Description

Casa de Tempo – A Rare Piece of San Diego History. Nestled in the heart of Marston Hills, Casa de Tempo is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the city’s most historically significant homes. Designed by master architect Samuel Wood Hamill of the esteemed firm Requa and Jackson, this California Monterey-style estate was built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition as a showcase of modern architectural innovation. Spanning 4,266 square feet, this elegant residence offers generously proportioned living spaces that exude character and charm. Set on an oversized 15,467 square foot lot, the estate features a pool, guest house, two-car garage, and additional two-car carport. This home is designed for modern living featuring built-in speakers in the living, dining, and family rooms. Energy efficiency is a priority with fully owned Tesla solar panels, dual-zone heating and air conditioning, and two tankless water heaters. Steeped in romance and history, Casa de Tempo boasts a distinguished lineage of ownership, beginning with General Plutarco Elias Calles, the 47th President of Mexico. With Mills Act designation, this historic home offers significant property tax savings while preserving its architectural legacy. The chef’s dream kitchen boasts a grand center marble island, sleek Book Matched Veneer custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances. Designed for both function and elegance, it features a spacious pantry, dual dishwashers, wine refrigerator, two sinks, and a powerful 6-burner gas range. Seamlessly flowing into the expansive family room, breakfast area, and veranda, this culinary haven is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Retreat to the expansive primary bedroom suite, complete with an extensive walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. Indulge in the dual-head steam shower, soak in the luxurious Duravit tub, and enjoy the elegance of Duravit sinks, toilet, and bidet. Every detail of this serene sanctuary exudes luxury, from its premium Grohe and Hansgrohe fixtures to its thoughtfully designed spaces. A timeless blend of elegance, history, and modern livability, Casa de Tempo is more than a home—it’s a rare piece of San Diego’s past, ready to be cherished by its next steward.

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
