About this home

After four decades, the Walton Estate is hitting the market! This is a rare opportunity to own 1.3 acres in Hillcrest / Marston Hills if you purchase both parcels together—1010 and 1034 Myrtle Way. 1010 Myrtle sits on .7 acres and offers a piece of San Diego history that rarely comes up for sale. The main home is generous—seven bedrooms, eight baths, each with its own en suite, nearly 6,300 square feet of living space. The bar room is the original 1,000 square feet of the house where everything began. The current primary suite has a private garden and could be converted to an ADU if you’re looking for flexible space. Out back, you’ll find a pool and grotto inspired by Bill and Lori Walton’s travels to Australia, surrounded by mature landscaping and private paths that weave through waterfalls and a 100 year old Tipowana tree. This home is real, lived in and loved. Layers of life, gatherings, music, and memory fill these walls. The property is quiet, with space to roam and room to grow, just minutes from Balboa Park and the Zoo. This is a rare chance to take something with so much history and make it your own.

Built in 1940, this historic estate shows signs of being well-maintained but has not undergone a major modern renovation. The kitchen, with its dated black cabinets, specific tiled backsplash, and older lighting, requires significant updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. While the exterior and landscaping are impressive, and solar panels are a modern addition, the interior finishes, including the terracotta-like flooring and traditional fixtures, are largely outdated. The property is functional but needs substantial cosmetic and feature upgrades, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathrooms, to align with contemporary tastes.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Expansive & Private Estate Lot: A rare 0.7-acre (30,829 sqft) lot in a prime urban location, offering unparalleled space, mature landscaping, and privacy.
Historic Pedigree & Unique Features: Known as the 'Walton Estate,' this property boasts significant San Diego history, an original 1,000 sqft bar room, and a distinctive Australian-inspired pool and grotto with waterfalls.
Premier Location & Accessibility: Situated in the highly desirable Hillcrest/Marston Hills area (92103), just minutes from Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo.
Generous Living Space & En-Suite Bathrooms: Nearly 6,300 sqft of living space with 7 bedrooms and 8 en-suite bathrooms provides luxurious and private accommodations for residents and guests.
ADU Potential & Flexible Layout: The current primary suite has a private garden and could be converted to an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant flexibility for multi-generational living or rental income.

Cons

Age and Potential for Renovation: Built in 1940, the property, while historic, may require substantial renovation and modernization to align with contemporary luxury standards and buyer expectations.
Significant Maintenance Requirements: The expansive 0.7-acre lot, large home, mature landscaping, pool, and grotto imply considerable ongoing maintenance and associated costs.
High Entry Price Point: The $5,000,000 list price targets a very niche market, potentially limiting buyer interest and increasing time on market.
