stately elegance
Step into the entry and feel right at home in this stunning traditional estate in Point Loma, with custom details throughout. With more than 4,000 square feet of living area, a double lot and two separate two-car garages, this home provides a spacious and elegant setting for living and entertaining. Brimming with charm that begins at the front door, the interior features light-filled rooms and French doors opening onto the garden and pool area. The chef ’s kitchen — which showcases a unique Viking double oven with French doors, as well as generous storage and a large granite island — flows into the family room with fireplace, and a breakfast area. The lower level of the home is ideal for a children’s play room, a teen game area or adult media room. The recently remodeled master suite features an elegant fireplace, plantation shutters, city views, generous closet space and distinctive tile flooring. The master bathroom opens onto a view deck
with a hot tub and a custom wrought-iron railing. The master bathroom also features a spiral staircase leading up to a private retreat, which can be used as an exercise room, reading room or quiet sanctuary to enjoy the city views. The private garden and pool area is a visual delight, with lovely garden areas, a koi pond, a custom pool with a waterfall, built-in barbecue and mini basketball court, or child’s play area. This home is in Loma Portal, known for its historic residences, walkability, block parties and community spirit. It is close to Liberty Station, San Diego Bay, parks and is a short drive to downtown San Diego.
