About this property

VIEWS! VIEWS! 4 Master Suites 5 Star Architectural Designer with Spa


This 1945 classic lofty hillside residence with 4 Master Bedrooms & 4.5 baths was entirely renovated and redesigned in 2014 for Architectural Digest AD 100 by Architect John Ike for his own personal San Diego home.

Luckily there is a telescope in the residence so that you can enjoy the spectacular panoramic views that stretch from Cabrillo Point and the Pacific Ocean, to the 10,000 foot high Pacific Coast Range east of downtown San Diego.

The never ending parade of ships and sailboats in San Diego Bay below would be enough to keep you occupied during your entire stay!

It's also one of those homes that you really have to be inside of in order to appreciate the excellent design and intriguing detailed craftsmanship that has been created for your comfort and viewing pleasure.

Each of the Master Bedrooms (two on each level) have spectacular views and are decorated with vintage mid- century furniture and custom made beds, each with its own bath, and all but one affording access to the outdoors. We have two King sized beds, 2 twins, 1 queen and two single pull out couches.

The custom kitchen paneled entirely in Hemlock with cork floors and ceilings, features a vintage Chambers Range and Oven, Subzero refrigerator, Convection Oven Microwave, and opens to an outdoor dining terrace with a built in charcoal Weber plus a separate gas grill.

An upstairs lofty shingled great room with 13' ceilings and a wall of sliding glass panels features a living area, fireplace, dining area and a chic stand up bar and vintage McIntosh Stereo. Vintage mid-century furniture, art and textiles lend an air of casual elegance to this room you just don't want to leave.

A lower level additional sitting room with floor to ceiling glass and ultra HD 4K TV provides and alternative place to hang out.

So pack your bags and get ready to enjoy- two expansive decks, two additional patio areas, two living areas, 2 fireplaces, private jacuzzi, private terraced area amongst the orange and lemon and olive trees, eat in kitchen, dining area, office space with WIFi and printer, washer dryer, dishwasher, telescope, hammock, wet bar and 6 HD TV's.

Ample non restrictive street parking, quiet residential neighborhood.

Just minutes away from famous San Diego Beaches, Yacht Club, Shelter Island, Harbor Island, Gas Lamp Downtown, Convention Center, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Seaport Village, Little Italy, Old Town and many more waterside shops and restaurants.

After a fun and sun filled San Diego day make sure you make time for a relaxing hot tub jacuzzi. Then just stretch out with your family on the outdoor, comfortable lounge chair furniture and hammock while you gaze upon the gorgeous sunsets.

We know that this will be a Vacation Home you will always remember, and we look forward to hosting your group. Call now for a reservation

Supreme views
This house was fantastic. The pictures don’t do it justice, especially the incredible views! We had two families stay with a mix of adults, teens and kids. There was plenty of room, all needs catered for and the amazing architecture and decor really added to our enjoyment of our stay. Thanks to Bruce and Susan for being great hosts!

Faith, Friendship, Food, Fun
Nine women, ages 85–73, headed to San Diego to celebrate 20 years of praying together. Communication with Susan from the very beginning was so easy. As the time got closer to our arrival date communication with Bruce was just as easy and professional. The house was a showcase of mid-century modern design. And the view was absolutely breathtaking. We loved seeing the city lights at night and seeing ships come in and out of the harbor. The location is ideal and we took advantage of getting to as many attractions as we could in the time that we had.We enjoyed every minute. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!

Incredibly unique experience…
This house is not just beautiful, it is a unique experience. Breathtaking views of San Diego and Coronado. Very spacious and comfortable. But the most incredible aspect is the authenticity of this mid century look. The furniture, the artwork, the lighting, the electronics, etc. were really impressive. I would highly recommend staying there. Also, the house manager, Bruce, was super responsive and helpful.

Stay in San Diego
We had a great time at this property and it was perfect for our group. The decor is very tasteful, views are beautiful, and having so many bathrooms was really convenient for our 9 person group. The fridge broke early on in our stay, but the property managers were quick to provide us with a backup, which we appreciated.

What makes this property unique

The yacht inspired interiors feature floor to ceiling sliding glass walls and expansive tiered decks facing the harbor and the stepped hillside garden with 75 year old movie trees and citrus, avocado, and fix waiting to be harvested. Intimate brick dining and entertaining terraces with a fire bowl to the west afford a true California indoor outdoor life style.
