This is a home that stirs emotion the very moment you arrive. Poised behind a gracious façade, the residence unfolds into an elevated urban retreat where luxury, scale and view converge. Inside, soaring coffered ceilings and warm, finely crafted wood floors set a tone of quiet sophistication, while expansive glass draws the eye outward to sweeping southwest panoramas of San Diego Harbor, Downtown, and Point Loma — a living work of art that changes with the light.

Urban sophistication is fully realized here — a residence conceived with rare balance and remarkable restraint.
