The outdoor space features a beautiful historic magnolia tree, a splendid jacaranda tree, a towering camphor tree, and a productive avocado tree, enhancing the property’s charm. Esteemed as a Mills Act-approved estate and listed on the National Register of Historic Places as site #37, this property promises significant tax advantages. Ideally located for effortless enjoyment of Balboa Park's myriad attractions, convenient freeway access, and a quick commute to downtown San Diego, the Long-Waterman Mansion offers an unparalleled blend of residential luxury and potential commercial utility.
