This 1 bedroom/1 bathroom guesthouse was built as a companion unit to the Mission Hills Craftsman House project. It is a shining example of how to add tremendous value to an existing single family home property within the guidelines permitted by the City of San Diego.

The guesthouse was built on top of a 2-car and a single car garage. The single car garage provides direct access to the guesthouse as the dedicated off street parking space and provides EV charging capability. The guesthouse has its own street address separate from the main residence and its own utility meters as well. With a high degree of autonomy the guesthouse has the flexibility to serve as a rental property separate and apart from the main residence.

Inside the 700SF guesthouse, the design incorporates soaring vaulted ceilings and large southern facing windows to create an environment filled with natural light and air. The design style pays homage to the craftsman style of the main residence by incorporating similar finishes, trim, molding, hardware and fixtures. A fully outfitted kitchen, central heating & AC, washer/dryer in the unit, and fiber optic internet service create a first class amenity package. The end result is a modern living experience with a design styled to maintain the warmth and character of the craftsman tradition.
