San Diego<\/a>\u2018s historic Kensington District has a number of gorgeous Spanish Colonial Revival houses built nearly a century ago.<\/p>\n

But few have the prominence of the General Pasquel Ortiz Rubio House<\/a>, named after the 33rd President of Mexico. He lived there for several years in the mid-1930s.<\/p>\n

The one-of-a-kind residence was built in 1928 and recently appeared on the market for $2,499,000.<\/p>\n

His brightly painted Mexican-themed designs adorn the front-enclosed loggia, ceilings, and walls. These colorful works have been immaculately restored and add to the home\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

In fact, 19th-century pueblo tiles from Mexico also grace the home\u2019s exterior. Sources say that General Rubio imported both the tiles\u2014and the artisans to customize them\u2014so that the tiles would fit the unique home.<\/p>\n

The estimated half-acre, terraced grounds are marked by stone walls and meandering paths that wind through natural gardens with mature, native plants and trees. Those palms, succulents, and bougainvilleas create the atmosphere of an esteemed, Old World resort.<\/span><\/p>\n

The roots of this prominent property actually add to its value; it\u2019s slated to come under the umbrella of the Mills Act in 2024. This will give the new owners significant tax advantages.<\/p>\n

All this, and the opportunity to live in an excellent neighborhood in one of California\u2019s most sought after cities? Que suerte!<\/em><\/p>\n
