1110 Loma Ave, Coronado - Home for the Holidays

December has always been an exciting month for our family on Loma Ave. Our family connection to Jingle Bells (Mom being the great granddaughter of James Lord Pierpont, author of Jingle Bells) always generates that little extra spark of excitement and magic for us around the holiday season. 

Mom would certainly never boast about our family connection to Jingle Bells, but her joyous and infectious smile, and her yearly, Jingle Bells themed holiday decorations hinted she's at least a little proud of her place in the family tree. 

Each December, jingle bells hang on the front door, announcing the arrival and departure of all visitors with a happy jangle. We even had a door chime that played Jingle Bells until the well used winding mechanism finally expired.

Coronado and San Diego Offer Holiday Frolic

The City of Coronado kicks off the holiday spirit boost in early December, dressing each and every Orange Avenue pine tree in a coat of colorful lights. Follow Orange Avenue along this sparkling, seasonal path and walk or bike to The Old Ferry Landing to enjoy the festive city skyline, often doubled in reflection on the glassy waters of San Diego Bay.  On the way, be sure to stop by Cafe 1134 or Starbucks to pick up your favorite holiday hot toddy. 

Within days of the tree lighting tradition, pedestrians take charge of a Orange Avenue to stroll amongst holiday parade goers and in to quaint and cozy shops during merchant's open house.  Young and old are thrilled to see Santa arrive by fire engine to oversee lighting of the "big tree", the tallest holiday tree you'll likely ever see! 

These are just a few examples of holiday activities our family has had the good fortune to enjoy while living on Loma Avenue.  A multitude of musical, theatrical and artistic events await you, just outside your front door. This small but strong community has provided cross-cultural experiences to expand our minds, excite our imaginations and grow our hearts. 

We love this home and our wish is to

partner with a special buyer who appreciates this opportunity to own a beautiful, master-crafted house in an absolutely ideal beachside location.  We hope you love this home too, so bring your aesthetic vision, your sense of adventure and your good walking shoes. Stroll the neighborhood, take a walk on the beach of this seaside town we call "our little slice of heaven".  It's your turn to build your own precious traditions and enduring memories within these walls.

1110 Loma Avenue - Home for the Holidays and Throughout the Year

Shortened Days Heightened Our Spirits

As sunsets hiked north each Spring and slipped south every Fall, our nature-oriented family loved this home where we celebrated life, built lifelong memories and created unique traditions, with a little help from Coronado’s sunsets. 

At the end of long and languid summer days on Loma Avenue, we enjoyed watching the sun rest in glorious fashion after its daylong reach to the north, sending beams of golden slumber through Star Park’s trees to create leaf speckled shadows on our dining room window.  This soothing and magical light show fueled many an evening of coffee and conversation with family and friends. 

After the summer solstice, we found that shortened days heightened our spirits as we anticipated the coming holidays and observed the subtle changes in Southern California’s weather.  We tracked sunsets as they slowly progressed daily, from right to left across the horizon, each day creeping ever closer to the end of Point Loma and towards the cool depths of the Pacific Ocean.  When the late summer sun began to set over water, we would watch for the “green flash” under a salmon-colored and crimson canopy of clouds. 

The highlight of our family’s celestial spectacle was Thanksgiving Day sunset, where we walked a few short steps to the beach to take in nature and bid a very special and spiritual sendoff to our solar soulmate. 

While we found that our two-block walk to the beach, unfortunately, did not work off a substantial Turkey Day feast, we did find that our treasured yearly celebration brought: serenity – through the glory of the sea and sky before us – appreciation and bounding thankfulness for our once-in-a-lifetime home behind us -- our pillar and source of emotional strength that helped guide us throughout life’s grand procession.

To begin making your memories in this incredible home, call Tim for a personal preview at 1110 Loma Ave., Coronado, CA. Tim Brodowski may be reached at 619-686-5512.

What is the Mills Act?

The Mills Act allows a reduction in property tax on historically designated property. The legislation is not state mandated; each city has the option of implementing the Mills Act and can tailor the program to the needs of the individual community.
 
Mills Act Agreements are contracts that provide a reduced property tax to a homeowner in exchange for preservation of a Historic Resource. Non-historic additions and new construction are excluded from the Mills Act property tax reduction.

 
Mills Act Agreements are a ten (10) year contract, renewed annually. This means that on the anniversary date of the agreement, a year is added automatically to the initial term of the agreement, keeping the agreement perpetually ten (10) years from expiration.
 
Mills Act as Agreements run with the land and will continue to be valid upon a change of property ownership. Homeowners considering applying for a Mills Act agreement should be aware the program is subject to change as deemed necessary by the City Council.
