Description
A rare opportunity to own a fully renovated turn-of-the-century residence in the heart of San Diego's prestigious Bankers Hill, where timeless architectural character meets an extensive and thoughtful modernization. Set on an exceptional 9,785-square-foot double corner lot, the historic home features soaring 10-foot ceilings, three fireplaces, and beautifully restored period details throughout. The residence underwent an extensive two-year renovation completed in consultation with the City of San Diego Historical Resources Department, preserving its architectural integrity while bringing its systems and amenities into the modern era. Improvements include a 400-amp electrical upgrade with the original knob-and-tube wiring completely removed, new permitted electrical throughout, upgraded sewer and drain lines, PEX water supply lines, extensive insulation, two new high-efficiency HVAC systems, copper gutters and roof flashing, and a new composition roof with a 50-year warranty. At the heart of the home is a beautifully expanded kitchen appointed with Bertazzoni appliances, an impressive 11-by-5-foot island, farm and prep sinks, a dedicated beverage refrigerator, and a walk-in pantry with its own sink. A built-in speaker system extends throughout the kitchen, dining and living rooms, primary suite, and bath, while a security system, cameras, WiFi-enabled irrigation, and an electronic driveway gate add modern convenience. Original double- and single-hung sash windows have been carefully restored, along with period hardware, doors, moldings, baseboards, and architectural details. Outside, the expansive double corner lot offers remarkable privacy and presence, complemented by solid wrought-iron fencing, a detached two-car garage with a new concrete foundation and epoxy-coated floor, and additional parking for approximately six vehicles. Minutes from Balboa Park, the Quince Street Pedestrian Bridge, Downtown San Diego, Little Italy, the waterfront, and San Diego International Airport, this is a distinctive opportunity to experience the grandeur, scale, and craftsmanship of a stately historic residence complemented by the comfort and infrastructure of a comprehensive modern renovation.
