Spanish Colonial Revival (Kneale Park) by Thomas Kneale, University Heights
The home: Situated on .54 acres, this walled, private compound is perfect for entertaining with its ample yard and patios, in-ground heated pool and spa, a waterfall koi pond, herb and rose gardens, fruit trees and aviary.
Welcome to Kneale Park—a historic estate that is the only one of its stature available in the idyllic University Heights.
This Spanish Colonial revival home offers amenities galore, including breathtaking daytime coastal views and a show of bay fireworks at night. The stately 5-bed/3-bath home, built by construction magnate Thomas Kneale, boasts original hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, historic light fixtures, and large, picturesque windows.
The foyer opens to spacious dining, living and family rooms. A large and luxurious master suite features an oversized bathroom, with a stone shower with body sprays and a Roman soaking tub. Remodeled, custom-finished closets in all bedrooms and casita attic space offer ample storage.
The builder: Thomas Kneale, a brick contractor, moved to San Diego in 1886 during an important period in the city’s development. Kneale took advantage of the growing local economy, to the point where he did mason work on some of the then largest buildings in the city.
