LANDMARK MISSION HILLS VIEW HOME In 1926, San Diego "Candy Baron" J.R. Showley commissioned Master Builder & Architect, Henry H Preibisius to create a Spanish Revival Eclectic showplace befitting his place in 20's society. (Today his Showley Brothers Candy Factory building is the iconic cornerstone of the Gaslamp Quarters Petco Park complex.) Once the appropriate property was secured in prestigious Mission Hills, no expense was spared in creating this magnificent home that encompasses sweeping views of Point Loma and San Diego Bay. With its beautiful imported woodwork and generous floor plan, it quickly became one of Preibisius' signature commissions. This exceptional home has been restored to its original splendor and now includes an expansive family room addition, swimming pool, landscaping designed by the late renowned landscape architect "Sinjin", and large master suite with room size closet. With its five bedrooms and four and one half bathrooms, this 4,611 square foot home combines the historic aesthetics of the period, with the space and accoutrements of a modern custom home. Whether it's the large paneled family room with its many built-ins, the spacious breakfast room, the maids quarters, the formal dining room with its coved ceiling, the large central reception hall, or the separate two and a half car garage, you'll find that this property can meet whatever needs and desires your family may have.
