A classic post-and-beam retreat in the hills of San Diego County is one of the decade's first new listings. Offering a warm wood interior, cozy outdoor spaces, and nearly seamless glass walls, the Beverly House embraces the quintessential midcentury-modern aesthetic. The current architect-and-artist homeowners have even outfitted the space in vintage, period furniture to complete the look.

The journey to this three-bedroom, three-bathroom abode begins with a winding journey into the hills behind La Mesa, an increasingly popular town about 11 miles from downtown San Diego. An understated street-level facade greets visitors, with a walkway leading up to the entrance and into the canopy of surrounding trees.

Inside, the top level provides a treetop-like views of La Mesa and the Laguna Mountains from the open-concept kitchen and living room. The middle level houses the second bedroom and two bathrooms while a separate unit is set up as a fully-contained in-law suite. Several detached structures are scattered around the property, offering additional studio or multi-purpose areas.

Throughout the home, vintage furniture mixes with eclectic finishes, including a stained-glass window in a bathroom and an original Preway Malm freestanding fireplace in the master bedroom. Keep scrolling to see more of this unique property, currently listed for $760,000.
