Fantastic architect-owned "Midwest Farm" style home high on a hill in Golden Hill with glorious views of downtown. Winner of the 1986 "San Diego Home and Garden" Home of the Year! Built in 1912, this beauty has been remodeled/updated throughout the years. It started out as a 3BR/1BA, but has been transformed into a 2BR (plus optional attic BR) 2.5BA with style and pizzaz. You will find unique architectural details such as open-beam, coffered and circular ceilings, curved walls and arches! See Supplement

There are 2 wood burning fireplaces, one in the DR and one in the MBR! The bleached Maple hardwood floors on the first level have just been refinished - and they are beautiful. AND - the entire house (both interior and exterior!) has been recently repainted. The living room has a coffered and beamed ceiling and the entryway features a curved wall and rounded ceiling with a truly unique light fixture. The kitchen has a Viking convection oven, leaded glass cabinets (original to the home), under cabinet lighting, slate countertops and stone flooring. There is a new DW and a stainless refrigerator. The guest/hallway bath on the first level was designed with style and whimsy. The owner has added a stairway to the unfinished attic space, which features a skylight and a storage closet. The attic could serve as a possible third bedroom. The house is wired for speakers throughout and features a "media center" in the DR. There is an alarm system installed, as well. There is a 2 car garage, built in 1991, with an off-street entry/stairway to a way-cool patio off the kitchen and there are 2 very large entertainment decks - one over the garage, measuring approx 300 sq feet, which has LED lighting installed, and one over the enclosed porch. The deck over the porch has just had new elastomeric flooring installed. It has an entry door from the master bedroom and sweeping views of the city and the bay. (and all the way to the Coronado Islands and Tijuana on a clear day). The creative owner of this wonderful home is a long-time associate at the Rob Wellington Quigley and Associates, creators of many landmark properties throughout Southern California, including the new San Diego Library in downtown, etc. He has applied his knowledge and skills to this very cool property. The foundation and retaining walls were rebuilt (with permits) in 2004. All-in-all, this is an ideal home for those looking for a stylish, detached home in a wonderful location! .
