About This Property
Situated above a picturesque canyon in the heart of San Diego, this exceptional residence offers a harmonious blend of tranquil canyon living and vibrant urban convenience. Wake to birdsong and take in sweeping canyon views from three expansive, newly rebuilt decks, creating a remarkable indoor-outdoor connection rarely found in such a central setting. Recent upgrades include Hardie plank siding, fresh exterior paint, completely reconstructed decks and stairways, a rebuilt carport, newer water heater and central A/C, dual-pane windows, two fireplaces, a 200-amp electrical panel with expansion capacity, and all-new LED lighting throughout. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, multiple skylights, and abundant windows create a bright, inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. The thoughtfully designed open-concept layout is perfect for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining, with multiple levels positioned to capture the surrounding canyon scenery. A separate-entry area also offers exciting ADU potential or storage, making it ideal for guests, a private office, creative studio, or additional living space. What truly elevates this property is the combination of privacy, walkability, and convenience. A nearby pedestrian bridge offers easy access to Hillcrest, Balboa Park, and University Heights’ Park Boulevard corridor. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, parks, and everyday amenities are all just minutes away on foot, while the nearby freeway offers quick access to San Diego’s beaches, Mission Valley, and beyond.
