Property Description

Located in the highly sought-after Inspiration Heights enclave of Mission Hills, this exceptional residence seamlessly blends historic character w/ modern sophistication. Rebuilt from the ground up in 2015, the home preserves select original details while delivering elevated craftsmanship, modern systems & luxury finishes throughout. One of the most unique features is convenient alley access to the detached 2-car garage, allowing entry into the home without ever needing to use the front stairs. Perched high above the street on a prime south-facing lot, the property captures breathtaking sit-down views of the downtown skyline, Bay, Ocean, Point Loma & Coronado Islands from most rooms. Offering approximately 3,150 sq ft plus a 250 sq ft basement on an expansive 8,800 sq ft lot, this residence was thoughtfully designed for both comfort & entertaining. Interior highlights include bespoke cabinetry, quartzite counters, marble & quartz baths, limestone fireplace surrounds, oak flooring, wool Berber carpet & premium fixtures from Rohl, Hansgrohe & Kallista. Features include dual-zone HVAC, radiant heated primary bath floors, integrated smart home/audio systems, security cameras, new plumbing & architectural-grade LED lighting. Outdoor living is equally impressive w/ multiple patios, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, heated pool/spa, fountains & outdoor shower surrounded by lush sustainable landscaping, mature fruit trees & app-controlled irrigation. Additional upgrades include a newly installed 34-panel solar system w/ dual batteries, gated entries & plans for a future ADU. Interior updates since 2015 include new window treatments, custom built-ins, updated lighting fixtures, and a 2023 repaint covering the majority of the home. Architectural plans by Kim Grant were commissioned for a future 2-unit ADU above and attached to the garage, along with an expanded front entry porch, offering exceptional potential for additional living space or income opportunities. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey, view-driven estate in one of San Diego’s most prestigious neighborhoods, where timeless design, modern luxury, and unforgettable views come together seamlessly. Designed by Elizabeth Barkett of Ross Thiele & Sons in La Jolla & Architect was Kim Grant.
