Steps from Balboa Park, Hillcrest, and the iconic Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, the home spans 4,188 sq ft of refined living space, complemented by 1,391 sq ft of elevated canyon-view decks. From the moment you enter, greeted by a calming entry water feature, you’ll feel the serenity woven into every detail. A Concord-brand elevator connects each level, while a paid 40-panel solar system(2023) powers the home. Floor-to-ceiling glass, electronic blinds, and a Control4 Smart Home System bring light, technology, and energy efficiency together seamlessly. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with Thermador, Sub-Zero, Bosch, Dacor appliances, a warming drawer, walk-in pantry, and artistic tilework. The primary suite offers spa-style living with a jetted soaking tub, heated towel racks, gas fireplace, walk-in custom closet, and private deck. Just down the hall, a Zen Waterfall Patio offers a hidden outdoor lounge complete with a stone waterfall and sculptural wall art. It’s one of many private spaces where nature takes center stage. Birdwatch from your breakfast table. Spot a hawk perched at eye level. Watch squirrels dart through eucalyptus limbs or lizards bask in the sun. This isn’t just a home—it’s a living ecosystem, elevated above the city yet rooted in its rhythm. A 1,146 sq ft basement with a private street-level entry offers potential for a guest suite, studio, or 2 bed/2 bath conversion. This is a true architectural retreat—where design, wildlife, and wellness coexist.
