The gourmet kitchen features SS appliances and easy access to sunroom, laundry, BBQ, and wine cellar. The foyer opens to spacious dining, living and family rooms. A large and luxurious master suite features an oversized bathroom, with stone shower with body sprays and a Roman soaking tub. Remodeled, custom-finished closets in all bedrooms and casita attic space offer ample storage. 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, aviary, play structure, and parking for multiple cars and RV/boat. A 1-bed/1-bath apartment above the front 4-car garage, and the Spanish casita, with a second 3-car garage and attached home office/gym space, offer the potential for rental income, guest accommodations and work-from-home. The location of a property of this size and beauty is unmatched. It’s walking distance to restaurants, shops, parks and is ten minutes from downtown, the airport, and Balboa Park/Zoo.

Upgraded electrical panel, lined pipes, a newer roof (2009), geological survey, central heat and air, and Cat5 wiring make this home move-in ready. A one bedroom “granny flat” with private entrance, above the front 4-car garage (650 sqft), is perfect to generate rental income or to house a live-in nanny or relative. In 2015 the back property structures were remodeled to include a spacious home office (255 sqft.), 3-car garage, gorgeous 1- bedroom Spanish casita/pool house with full kitchen (300sqft), and large attic storage space (350sqft.).
