About this home

Rarely does the opportunity arise to own a residence within the iconic Brick Row Historic District, one of Southern California's most historically significant architectural treasures. Originally commissioned in 1887 by National City founder Frank Kimball and inspired by the distinguished row homes of Philadelphia, this remarkable Victorian-era residence offers a timeless blend of historic provenance, rich architectural character, and enduring craftsmanship. Designated on the National Register of Historic Places and nestled within National City's celebrated Heritage Square, the property showcases extraordinary period charm including dramatic brick construction, soaring ceilings, original architectural detailing, and an ambiance reminiscent of a bygone era. The Mills Act tax advantages provide substantial property tax savings while preserving the integrity of this irreplaceable historic residence. Currently configured as two separate residences, the property also offers exceptional flexibility for a live/work lifestyle, presenting a rare opportunity to potentially operate a business while enjoying the comforts of owner occupancy (or just have a business solely or use as full primary or rental property). Complete with a charming front patio, private backyard, and detached two-car garage, this legacy property seamlessly blends historic elegance, modern versatility, and investment potential in one of National City's most iconic architectural landmarks.
