Property Description
Welcome to 4640 Max Drive-where timeless minimalist traditional architecture meets soulful restoration in the heart of historic Talmadge Park Estates. Crafted by master builders Hays and Jackson, this iconic 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom gem is a living piece of San Diego history-imbued with charm, character, and curated modern comforts. Step inside and be transported. With 883 square feet of hardwood floors, sun-drenched living spaces, and a thoughtfully designed split floor plan, every inch of this home tells a story. Original French doors, refinished wood windowsills, and period moldings whisper of bygone eras, while central A/C and owned solar ensure modern-day ease. The kitchen is where vintage meets contemporary style-featuring restored original cabinetry and pull-out wood cutting board, marbled countertops with chiseled edges, and sleek stainless-steel appliances including an energy-efficient drawer dishwasher. Outside, the magic continues. A generous backyard canyon deck invites al fresco dinners under the stars, while mature trees on the lower deck offer a shaded sanctuary for slow mornings with coffee or quiet evening reflections. A small platform side garden provides herbs and vegetables. As part of the Talmadge Historic District, this home holds the distinction of being recognized by the San Diego Historical Society and the National Register of Historic Places-a legacy that not only preserves its story but offers meaningful tax advantages. Set on a serene, tucked-away street, yet just minutes from San Diego's iconic beaches, vibrant dining, and commuter routes-4640 Max Drive is more than a home. It's a piece of California history.
