LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Originally desgined by architect Richard Leitch, this beautifully remodled San Carlos Home begins with an inviting entry ATRIUM featuring a Japanese Zen garden and Japanese maple tree creating a tranquil setting for meditation and quiet reflection. Soaring beam ceilings, expansive glass & abundant NATURAL LIGHT create an airy connection between indoors & out. Warm wood tones, contemporary finishes & distinctive lighting complement the home’s architectural character, creating spaces that feel both polished and welcoming. Two-inch LED recessed fixtures provide streamlined illumination, with adjustable accent lighting highlighting the bookshelf and hallway.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen features white and wood-tone cabinetry, quartz countertops & a generous waterfall island with a fluted wood accent and bar seating. Italian made Forno Espresso appliances in white with antique brass accents bring a distinctive, coordinated look, complemented by a textured backsplash & sculptural pendant lighting. A Kraus kitchen faucet, an under-counter reverse osmosis system, and a quiet dishwasher with a stainless-steel tub and third rack add everyday convenience. The adjoining dining and living areas overlook the POOL, while a striking floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace anchors the gathering space.

The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and an en-suite bathroom that pairs a FREESTANDING SOAKING TUB with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, textured tile, a rainfall showerhead, a solid wood double vanity and arched mirrors for a spa-like finish. U.S.A.-made Delta plumbing fixtures complement the thoughtful finishes. Outside, a sparkling pool with a separate solar heating system, covered patio, and space for outdoor dining & lounging invite relaxed afternoons and gatherings.

PAID-OFF SOLAR and a water softener add practical appeal. With its signature atrium, light-filled interiors, and welcoming backyard, this San Diego home brings fresh design and everyday comfort together in the established San Carlos neighborhood.
