WELCOME TO YOUR ITALIAN VILLA! Enjoy the vast views from this custom-built home, from USD, downtown, the airport’s runway, to Coronado Bridge & San Diego Bay. This home was once featured in the Loma Portal Elementary Home & Garden Tour in 2009 & received raving comments; such as, “This is a ‘Wow’ House!” Built with 2x6 framing for strength, more insulation for quietness, as well as warmth & coolness during the seasons. The home is adorned with beautiful, Solid wood floors, custom doors (front, rear, pockets & all interior) & custom built-ins, all imported from Costa Rica. This may appear to be only a 3-bedroom home, but there are opportunities for more. Not just the AirBNB room in the garage with its own full bathroom, but the large loft can be converted into another bedroom, and/or the large bedroom #2, that slept 3 teenagers, could be converted into 2 bedrooms as well. The open Foyer and Loft are constantly lit during the day by 3 solar tubes, and it is decorated with an elegant, curving staircase with custom wrought iron. The Den has a custom built-in, 2-sided desk with cabinetry from Costa Rica. There is also a Sunroom/Children’s Study next to the family room. Each are set within the privacy of two pocket doors with beautifully etched glass. The living room has a gorgeous, double-mantel fireplace. The dining room was designed for a large table and China cabinet. The large kitchen has a large centralized island with vegetable sink, large rangetop stove with large stainless-steel hood, room for an extra-large side-by-side fridge & freezer, (cont. in Supplement...) , double convection oven, dishwasher, a deep two-sided sink, all set within a high-end, elegant granite countertop. Also enjoy the large nook with more cabinetry, and across is the Butler’s Pantry with warming drawer, and a large walk-in pantry with glass cabinet, platter slots, table cloth hanger, and all enclosed with a beautifully wheat etched glass door. The laundry room has a deep, single sink and more cabinetry within. Quality cabinets in the Kitchen and 2nd floor bathrooms provided by Kraft Maid with soft-close drawers. The large Primary Bedroom has gorgeous views, an alcove sitting area with enough room for a couch and vanity, and enjoy your morning stretch on one of the two Juliette balconies. The large en-suite bathroom is secluded by a double wide pocket door (also from Costa Rica), two walk-in closets, private toilet, large walk-in shower with bench, a jetted tub big enough for two, and a wide counter with 2 sinks. The loft was considered to be another bedroom until the 3rd baby was determined to be the same sex as the other two children. So, instead, it is a large loft with room for a big comfy couch and TV, with double doors opening to a balcony looking over the backyard. Doors outside house one of two FAU's, and the other containing the two dependable Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters (, one for each side of the home) with more space to store. Bedroom 2 is very spacious. This room housed 3 teenagers with three twin beds and plenty of closet space. The room is lit by multiple windows, showcasing vast views of the yard and swimming pool. It is adjoined by a bathroom with colorful tile and two bowl sinks. Bedroom 3 is spacious and includes its own private bath and expansive views. Next to it is access to the other side of the loft, with a balcony. The balcony has room for a bar table and chairs to enjoy the views for a morning breakfast, afternoon cocktails, enjoying the city lights, watch the airplanes take off and land, or to watch the Big Bang fireworks show in San Diego Bay. This balcony houses the 2nd FAU (one controlling downstairs only, and one controlling only the upstairs as needed). The garage is a complete footprint of the home, boasting a 4-car garage, workshop and a Casita/AirBNB bedroom with full bath.
