639 Kirtright St San Diego, CA 92114

For 45 years, this warm and inviting home has been nurtured by a family passionate about urban homesteading and living in harmony with nature. Just minutes from the San Diego Harbor, it offers more than a place to live—it's a way of life. Every corner of the property tells a story. The soil has been lovingly enriched for decades, filling in-ground and raised vegetable beds, pots, and three compost areas that keep the garden thriving year-round. A cooling harbor breeze flows through the home, joined by a shade tree, attic fan, and excellent insulation to keep summers comfortable. In winter, large sunlit windows and a cozy woodstove insert (with ¼ cord of firewood) make the upgraded heater almost unnecessary—helping keep energy bills low without solar panels.The side-yard doubles as a drought-tolerant California Habitat Garden, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and honeybees. It's also been the heart of summer nights—campfires, stargazing, and memories shared with neighbors. Additional features include a stock tank for fish, a potential pond or small livestock area, a backyard clothesline, and rain barrels for water conservation. Recent updates include fresh interior paint (2025), a new water heater (2025), sewer line (2021), furnace (2020), grounded electrical (2019), and rain gutters (2019). Here, history, nature, and comfort meet in one truly special home.
