A historic North
Park two-story home on Kalmia Street in the historic Burlingame neighborhood in San Diego has sold at a reported $1.38 million, a “record for Burlingame home sales,”
said Marty McDaniel, who along with his sister Julie McDaniel Kellems
representing the McDaniel Family Trust, were the sellers.
The prairie
style home, completed in 1913, has been in the McDaniel Family since 1963 when
Rita and Julius McDaniel purchased it.
Siblings Marty and Julie have spent the past 3.5 years restoring the
family home to get it ready for the private sale.
New owners
are Alpine residents with North Park ties.
“I grew up in North Park and am really happy to return,” says Amy Bowen,
who with her husband Dane closed escrow in mid-September.
Designed by
icon San Diego architect William Wheeler and built by contractor W.A. McIntyre,
the home at 3113 Kalmia cost $6,000 to build. First owners
were Harry and Verna Benbough, who owned Benbough Furniture Co., downtown.

During
restoration, an April 1913 edition of the local newspaper was discovered behind
the medicine chest in one of the bathrooms.

flooring (throughout the home) plus a view of the terrace. “As kids we could see all the fireworks in
San Diego from the wrap-around terrace,” said Marty McDaniel, home seller.

With
no design experience, the McDaniel siblings showed remarkable taste in the
recently completed new look of an upstairs bathroom. Photos of the unfurnished home were taken during a realtor showcase of the home |
