Detailed Introduction Of This Home
Welcome Home to this Tastefully Renovated Mission Hills Beauty! It’s the gem you’ve been waiting for—a spacious, newly remodeled two story, 5 Bedroom, 4 Bath Mission Hills home offering panoramic views of the downtown skyline. An extensive remodel/addition was completed in 2020 by renown Architect Christian Rice. The new construction built into the hillside to nearly double the square footage of this historic 1930s home to 2228 sq. ft. The generous and thoughtful layout now includes 2 Bedrooms and 2 Baths upstairs, with original wood floors and a large open floor plan from kitchen to living room. The living room features vaulted ceilings and wood-burning fireplace, while the kitchen offers hilltop views, marble countertops, a deep farmhouse sink, plenty of storage, and a pop of colorful Spanish tile behind the stove. From the kitchen, an outdoor deck provides incredible panoramic views and room for hosting dinners al fresco. 3 Bedrooms and 2 Baths are located downstairs, with beautiful Saltillo tile flooring throughout. Here, the primary suite has a number of luxurious amenities: gracious french doors, which open to valley views and a very private backyard; a huge bathroom, with clawfoot tub and walk-in shower/steam room; and a large walk-in closet. A designer wrought-iron, Portuguese (spiral) staircase connects the two floors. New electrical, plumbing and furnace were also added in 2020. The home was carefully designed to maximize indoor/outdoor living, with numerous outdoor spaces, including several California native plant gardens, lawns, decks and patios, which together create an oasis of beauty in one of San Diego’s most sought after neighborhoods. A detached garage can also be used as an office, gym or art studio. Attached to the garage is another large storage space. The fully gated/fenced property offers a very large pool-sized back yard with a mature avocado tree, pomegranate tree & other fruit trees. Plenty of space to plant your own garden. The lot size is approximately 5000 Sq.Ft, but feels much larger. Close to excellent public and private schools, including top rated Grant School (TK-8) and Francis Parker (JK-5), and just minutes from downtown, beaches, Little Italy’s farmer’s market, Hillcrest and more.
