Perched above the city in prestigious Bankers Hill, this dramatic Victorian residence blends timeless elegance with modern function while preserving the integrity of its original design inside and out. Gutted to the studs in 2001, the home was carefully restored to honor its historic roots while enhancing livability for today. From the moment you arrive, the home's authenticity and energy stands out: ornamental trim, period-appropriate windows, rich wood detailing, and a commanding facade evoke a bygone era. Inside, the original character continues with tall ceilings, wood floors, and graceful transitions between rooms. The main level features a flexible living space with an optional bedroom and dual private baths, while upstairs offers four true bedrooms filled with natural light. Enjoy panoramic views of the downtown skyline, the bay, and even the Pacific beyond. Multiple outdoor living areas, including a gated front yard, classic front porch, detached rear patio, and terraced lower yard, create the perfect blend of privacy and openness. The oversized kitchen offers both space and function, ideal for gathering and entertaining. The property boasts generous parking and a central location moments from Little Italy, the waterfront, Balboa Park, and San Diego’s cultural core. Zoned for flexibility, the property offers unique opportunities for creative or income-producing uses that enhance its value beyond just a primary residence. This is more than a home. It’s a piece of San Diego’s architectural heritage, lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated.
