Classic 1928 Spanish Colonial Mission Revival located in one of San Diego’s most cherished neighborhoods. The quality and craftsmanship of this lovingly restored Mission Hills architectural beauty offers the market a unique opportunity for unparalleled charm and character. Enter the living room and note the barrel ceiling, elegant historic chandelier, sculpted Spanish revival style fireplace and true divided light custom windows. Arched doorways and original oak flooring are preserved throughout the upper floor and are complimented by the Malibu tiles on the landing leading to the comfortable family room and cozy balcony that features bay views - perfect for July 4 fireworks viewing. A discreet set of stairs lead up to the Italianate cupola and a rooftop entertainment area, perfect for sunrise and sunset viewing, drinks and 360 degree views of the bay and canyons. The chef’s kitchen overlooks the lush canyon and includes a Viking range, mission style oak custom cabinetry, a large island and ample storage. The formal dining room then opens gracefully to the canyon-view balcony that wraps along the entire rear of the home - ideal for entertaining!
The lower level features Saltillo tile flooring and en suite primary bedroom featuring views to the canyon and a double walk-in closet. The hallway has ample built-in bookcases and a spacious laundry/ mud room off the lower front door entry. The spacious backyard was designed by Martin Flores, PLA, and features tiled terraces for vegetables or flowers, fountains and used-brick surrounding an historic Lilly pond, attracting many beautiful species of birds and butterflies for the nature lovers. The hand-laid cobbled terraces preserve the picturesque pepper tree and provide an ideal outdoor living and entertainment space. Low maintenance and drought tolerant landscaping, with drip irrigation and brilliant copper fixture landscape lighting in front, side and back yards make this home a breathtaking place for dinner parties and Barbecues. There is an additional open air “garden room” finished with bamboo cabinets, wine and standard refrigerators for entertainment, party and bar supply storage.
