This is a home that stirs emotion the very moment you arrive. Poised behind a gracious façade, the residence unfolds into an elevated urban retreat where luxury, scale and view converge. Inside, soaring coffered ceilings and warm, finely crafted wood floors set a tone of quiet sophistication, while expansive glass draws the eye outward to sweeping southwest panoramas of San Diego Harbor, Downtown, and Point Loma — a living work of art that changes with the light. Thoughtfully rebuilt from the ground up, the home showcases custom details and finishes rarely found, each chosen to enhance both beauty and livability. More than 2,500 square feet of intelligently designed living space offers grand yet comfortable proportions, accented by subtle architectural moments throughout. Entertaining is effortless with a showpiece kitchen and separate prep kitchen worthy of a culinary stage, while the primary suite and spa-inspired bath provide a private sanctuary befitting modern royalty. Beyond the interiors, the expansive lot presents an exceptional opportunity — inviting future expansion for additional bedrooms or outdoor entertainment spaces, allowing the lifestyle to evolve along with your vision. *See Supplement for More Details* MARKETING VIDEO IN 3D URL & VIRTUAL TOUR LINKS! Urban sophistication is fully realized here — a residence conceived with rare balance and remarkable restraint. Created approximately 15 years ago, the design was intentionally crafted to honor timeless architectural principles while embracing the clarity and openness demanded by modern living. Achieving that harmony is no small feat, yet within moments of entering, the success is unmistakable. Clean lines, expansive volume and purposeful simplicity are seamlessly aligned with symmetry, proportion and classical order. At the heart of the home lies a culinary environment that is both triumphant and unforgettable. The kitchen and adjacent prep kitchen serve as the emotional centerpiece, blending timeless contemporary styling with a complete suite of high-performance luxuries. A dramatic walnut-topped island commands the space, thoughtfully outfitted with integrated cooling drawers and custom cabinetry below. Marble countertops extend throughout, their palette perfectly calibrated to the home’s refined aesthetic. The appliance collection — featuring Dacor, Miele, Viking and GE Monogram — reflects uncompromising quality. A built-in nook with bench seating invites you to linger, all while enjoying yet another captivating view. Just beyond, a private interior Zen courtyard offers a serene retreat, complete with a gas fireplace and an intimate urban garden setting. The lower level continues the narrative without compromise, delivering the same dramatic views and soaring ceilings found above. A generous guest suite offers elegance and comfort, anchored by an oversized picture window and a beautifully appointed full bath with curated tile and luxury fixtures. The primary suite transcends scale alone, offering a refined blend of luxury, design and function. A grand dual-sided wardrobe, entry foyer hall, and a bedroom of impressive proportion create a true retreat. The spa-inspired primary bath rivals the finest penthouses in the city, featuring a sculptural freestanding tub, expansive walk-in shower, western-facing vistas, a dedicated makeup station and an unusually large walk-in laundry room. Perhaps the most quietly powerful feature of the property is the expansive lot and thoughtful orientation of the home. While exceptional as it stands, the setting and price point invite future vision — from additional bedrooms and baths to a pool, spa, or expanded entertaining spaces — supported by strong values along the street. Functionality is further elevated through smart technology and sustainable features, including a gray-water irrigation system, fully owned solar with battery storage, integrated irrigation, security with cameras, and a lower-level storage space with potential for conversion into a detached office. Even the home’s sound system remains discreetly embedded and invisible. The caliber of construction, the precision of craftsmanship, and the quiet magic of the design converge into a residence that simply must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
