Property Description
Variance Granted For Detached ~ Magnificent estates like this rarely become available. Nestled on a quiet private road, this unique property spans almost an acre and a half of beautifully manicured park-like greenery. Impressive walkways, walls, paths, and stairs are all crafted from quarried granite from the property, and the breathtaking, unobstructed views from Mexico to La Jolla and everything in between, leave a lasting impression on all who visit. Two incredible homes were built on the property. They blend the perfect combination of early 1940s sophistication, craftsmanship, whimsey, and careful consideration. They are ideal for multigenerational living, income production, vacation rental, or extended stays for friends and family. **PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENT**
With its circular driveway, the first home sits higher on the property. It exudes extraordinary charm, a dynamic floor plan, and features exquisite detailing throughout. This includes original rich refinished hardwood floors, newer Pella windows, and faux wood grain painted crown moldings. baseboards, doors, and entries. The majestic and expansive living room opens up to stunning views to the west, extending as far as the eye can see, including views of the Pacific Ocean, Mexico, Coronado Islands, Point Loma, downtown, and up and past La Jolla. Adjacent to the living room, through French doors, there is an amazing bonus room that has been used as an office/3rd bedroom, and through this room, one can access a massive patio with more sweeping western-facing views. This home features an elegant formal dining room with a stately full-length bay window, garden views, and more original built-ins. The spacious French-inspired eat-in kitchen has stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tiled floors, loads of storage, a laundry area, and a Dutch double door that opens to a private courtyard and garden area. There is an enormous primary suite with more ocean views as well as a junior suite with views directly facing the iconic cross atop Mt Helix.
