Welcome to this Julian gem of a home located in the nearby neighborhood of Harrison Park. This must-see custom home is lovingly designed and built under the supervision of an award-winning, prominent San Diego architect for his own family. This home was designed with an eye toward the aesthetic and with many defensible space features in mind. The Fire Chief thoroughly inspected the house from start to finish during the construction period. Upon entering, you will notice the open-plan living and dining area with a soaring nearly 20-foot ceiling height, custom cabinets throughout, hardwood and custom tile flooring, built-in bookcases, gas fireplace, oversized window seat framing stunning northward views of Volcan mountain, and others, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and tempered glass windows. The 1,555-square-foot upper level features an additional 120-square-foot loft used as an office and plenty of attic storage. From the spacious primary bedroom, you will enjoy another northern view from the oversized tempered casement glass windows. The bathroom features an oversized tiled shower, dual vanity sinks, and radiant heated floors. Also on this level is a separate laundry room with ample storage cabinets. *SEE SUPPLEMENT* On the lower level, you will find an approximately 240-square-foot guest suite with a separate bathroom, coffee counter, and small refrigerator. Also on this lower level is a workshop with a sink, refrigerator, workbench, and stove. Outside, there are three lovely outdoor spaces to enjoy: a terrace off the kitchen and dining room with incredible sunset views to the west; a large patio and gazebo off the master suite facing east; and a shaded courtyard with a custom-built wood-fired pizza oven. The house is constructed with cement siding and concrete roof tiles, rooftop, and above-window metal sprinklers with gravity feed and pressurized water supply; there are roller fire-resistant shutters on the primary bedroom, kitchen door, and living room windows. The property has over 40 well-maintained fruit and nut trees, about half of which are in a fenced orchard with three vegetable terraces and automated water systems. There are extensive, well-thought-out automated water systems around the house that make for an easy way to enjoy the gorgeous landscaping. This property has so many features, including a 22kW backup generator, that one must see to appreciate.
