Property Description
Spiritually known as an outpost for angels, discover this 1929 Spanish Colonial estate on nearly ¾ of an acre! Privately nestled behind walls in the most desirable cul-de-sac location in north Kensington. Feel the tranquility & warmth unfold upon entering this special home. This sublime residence boasts a glorious great-room with 15-ft ceilings, views, a tiled veranda leading to multiple patios, grassed areas, and a resort-like canyon private pool & spa. The guest casita is an ideal work-from-home space. Immaculately maintained, this incredible estate is more than a home: it’s a living legacy. Its unique spirit is immediately felt as soon as you step through the front gate. Revel in a vintage-style exterior stucco, new solar that is masterfully hidden from view within the new, exquisite boosted tile roof. Working from home almost feels like a privilege, with the option of a view office adjacent to the master suite or from the separate, private en-suite guest Casita and large executive office. Don’t forget the wine room. The wall length glass-doored, refrigerated installation allows for viewing the 250+ bottle wine collection, truly a reason to toast. Step onto the main patio, an entertainer’s fantasy, complete with a warming outdoor fireplace, built-in seating and views of the first Franciscan California mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala’, founded in 1769. Explore the rear grounds that boast the estate’s original rock walls and dreamy walkways leading to a resort-style pool and spa deck, punctuated by sumptuous landscape and secret paths to explore. The expansive master retreat is in a private wing of the home and enjoys gorgeous views, a fireplace, a walk-thru closet and a separate office/lounge area. The master bath features tile & marble as well as an oversized jetted tub. Wonderful exterior stairways are truly out of a European fantasy, one of which that leads directly from the master suite to the rear yard for that late-night swim. Unbelievably, there is more. The spacious kitchen boasts an expansive Mesquite topped center island, dual skylights, ample storage, walk-in pantry, sub-zero refrigerator, Viking gas range and vibrant custom tiles. The adjoining generous-sized family room and entertaining area enjoys vaulted ceilings, built-in’s and promises to provide memories for years to come. Enjoy the convenience of the attached oversized 3-car garage, a brick circular driveway for off street guest parking. Kensington enjoys quiet streets, wonderful neighbors and pride of ownership. Perfectly located in the middle of san Diego, 15 minutes to all the city’s main attractions. This special property is hidden in plain sight. Enjoy the sense of peace, solitude and well-being. A true luxury of time in a timeless place. Welcome home! The casita/bedroom #5 is presently being used as office and does not have a closet
