About this home

MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Now offered under $2 million, creating an exceptional opportunity to own one of San Diego's most distinctive architectural residences, Mount Bigelow Artisan Canyon Estate: Some homes are built. Others are imagined. Originally transformed for an accomplished San Diego artist by prominent designer John Klacka, this extraordinary custom canyon estate blends timeless architecture, artisan craftsmanship, and breathtaking views into one of the coveted Mount Streets' most architecturally significant homes. Perched on a peaceful cul-de-sac overlooking a serene canyon and Mount Soledad, this remarkable 3,384 sq. ft. home offers an exceptionally flexible floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and additional spaces that comfortably accommodates additional bedrooms, executive offices, creative studios, fitness areas, or multigenerational living. Walls of Milgard glass and more than 15 custom glass doors invite natural light and refreshing coastal breezes to dance throughout the home from sunrise to sunset, transforming every room into an ever changing masterpiece of dramatic skies, and spectacular evening sunsets. Exotic Purpleheart hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, artisan flooring and finishes, a striking marble fireplace, and a beautifully designed open concept kitchen combine to create a home of extraordinary warmth, sophistication, and timeless design. The private upper level primary suite is a true sanctuary featuring a viewing balcony, sweeping canyon views, and a spa inspired bath retreat. The outdoor living experience is inspirational. This includes beautifully designed landscaping, drought conscious gardens, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces. A custom outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ makes entertaining effortless, while the detached architecturally matched flex structure offers versatility as an office or studio. The expansive lot offers exceptional flexibility, including the potential for an ADU, subject to buyer investigation. Lovingly and meticulously maintained, every improvement reflects enduring quality and inspired design. Additional highlights include owned solar, gated RV/boat parking, two car garage with a new epoxy floor, exceptional privacy, and unforgettable sunsets. This retreat estate is located just minutes from La Jolla, Bay Ho, Bay Park, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, downtown San Diego, and world famous beaches offering an extraordinary lifestyle rarely found in such a central location.
