Million Dollar Monday: 1961 Pacifica Palmer & Krisel For Sale – San Diego, CA


Situated on a corner lot at the entrance to a 13-home cul-de-sac, this Palmer & Krisel-designed home in the Pacifica subdivision was built by the Drogin Construction Company in 1961. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,674 square feet, this home includes a two-car garage, sits on a 7,900 square-foot lot and carries an asking price of $1,049,995.

Drought tolerant landscape accents paver driveway

The front of the home exudes classic midcentury modern, with clean lines and great form. With a side-loaded garage, the paver driveway acts as the front walkway to the home, accented with drought-tolerant front yard landscaping. A natural-stone veneered chimney anchors the exterior of the home, highlighted with a fairly unique notch in the roof overhang that only a handful of other Pacifica homes have.

Living room is light and bright, with signature modernist fireplace anchoring the room

Living room and secondary sitting room

Entry includes smart built-ins for storage and display

The interior of the home is open and bright, with original unpainted open beamed ceilings still in place and wood floors augmenting the space. The living room sits at the front of the home anchored by the classic signature modernist fireplace and brightly lit from front and rear facing windows. The adjacent entry features built-in cabinetry and shelving which makes the most out of a tight space.

Kitchen and dining room

Dining room includes some great vintage built-ins

The kitchen and dining room sit at the back of the home, out of view from the living areas. The dining room features some great-looking vintage built-ins which sit under a clean-lined soffit, and is anchored by a very appropriately-placed sputnik chandelier. The east wall of the dining room features more great vintage built-ins allowing for plenty of storage and display space.

Counters are granite augmented with tumbled marble backspalshes
Kitchen cabinets are updated shaker-style

The kitchen has been updated with relatively clean-lined shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a tumbled-marble backsplash. Large windows and well-placed lighting help keep the space open and bright.

The master bedroom sits at the rear of the home and provides access to the backyard, while the remaining two bedrooms are located along the side of the home. Both bathrooms have been updated with materials that are very similar and consistent both with each other and the kitchen.

Back of home viewed from elevated patio

Usable backyard area is mainly artificial turf, raised planters and a flagstone patio

The backyard is tiered, with the surrounding lots sitting higher than this property. Artificial turf, vegetable planters and an uncovered flagstone patio make up the bulk of the usable space in the yard, with a stone retaining wall and moderately sloped hillside making up the rest.
