Property Description

Beyond the modest, single story, mid century ranch exterior awaits a "WOW" moment as you step inside and take in the visual feast for your eyes - vaulted ceilings, glue laminate beam, hardwood floors and 12' sliding doors out to the AMAZING private sanctuary backyard, modeled after the Parker Hotel grounds in Palm Springs. A wall of green envelops the backyard perimeter creating a space equally equipped for quiet moments watching hummingbirds drink from the bubbling fountain or hosting large gatherings of friends and family. Sited about a mile from highly rated Hearst Elementary and near the middle of a horseshoe shaped street, this prime location in Del Cerro "West" feels more like cul de sac living. With 3 good-sized bedrooms PLUS a separate den/office, an open floor plan, and a large backyard designed for indoor/outdoor living, this home lives MUCH larger than you'd expect at just under 1,800 sq. ft. Owned 6.0 kWh solar photovoltaic system and well in excess of $325K+ in remodeling, upgrades and improvements over the past 17 years of stewardship. As an added bonus, the new owner will have the option to assume the normally wait-listed private membership at Del Cerro Park with a large pool, lounging deck, kiddie pool and 2 tennis courts. Solid slab Alder cabinet doors/drawer fronts in the kitchen are coupled with Costa Esmeralda granite countertops, recessed lighting and a sea-colored glass subway tile backsplash extending all the way to the ceiling. The stars of the show however are the 26' long exposed glue laminate solid wood beam highlighting the soaring vaulting ceilings in the great room and the 8' tall solid glass sliding door/walls enclosing the dramatic den/office. Evenings are truly enchanting whether enjoying some down time in the living room with built-in surround sound, gas log fireplace and room for a baby grand piano near the entry, OR an al fresco dinner followed by a fireside chat around the back patio concrete gas fire pit. Plenty of room in the landscape architect designed backyard for an outdoor ping pong table, play set, trampoline or a trial overnight camping run. Del Cerro is so centrally located and feels like most everything is a quick 10 to 15 minute ride away. On top of the mesa, there are also numerous near level streets for walking your favorite furry friend or simply getting your daily steps in. Locals enjoy the friendly service and quality grocery shopping offered at Windmill Farms as well as the many regional resources right in Del Cerro's backyard, including Mission Trails Regional Park, Lake Murray Park and San Diego State University. Upgraded electrical wiring and ABS drain lines, 200 amp panel, 220V outlet for a car charger, newer central AC, drip irrigation, storage galore in the attached garage built-in cabinetry and partially floored attic with pull down ladder access. There are very few homes that come along and check this many boxes while also maintaining the near perfect combination of honoring this ranch home's origins and melding it together with timeless modern aesthetics.
