Palatial Moorish-style residence designed by Richard Requa and Herbert Jackson. Located in an exquisite pocket of Bankers Hill, this 1923 treasure trove is steeped in romanticism but has been meticulously updated to absolute perfection. It embraces an active Southern California lifestyle with a central courtyard that integrates impeccably with its surrounding living spaces. The primary bedroom is on the main living floor--perfect for someone who wants a 1 story home. Features of this property include hardwood floors, Rumford fireplace, recessed lighting, dual paned windows, dual zoned heating and air conditioning, and an attached 2 car garage. Its formal entry gently flows to grandiose living spaces with the master suite perfectly located on the main level. The gourmet kitchen sports slab granite countertops and stainless steel appliances with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 6-burner gas Dacor range, dual convection Dacor ovens, and a Bosch dishwasher. It opens beautifully to the family room and outside courtyard. The opulent master bedroom retreat is, at once, inviting and practical. It enjoys a spacious walk-in closet and an elegant master bathroom with granite, travertine, dual vanities, and dual shower heads. Indoor/outdoor entertainment areas abound with the central courtyard accessible from the living room, dining room, kitchen/family room and master suite. Fantastic al fresco dining awaits the new owners under the beautiful pergola with nearby grill, fountain/spa and lush landscaping. A short stroll to everything that is Bankers Hill…morning coffee, incredible restaurants and world famous Balboa Park with its rich cultural heritage and stunning gardens. Standing cherub sculpture above the fountain/spa area (visible in some photos) does not convey with property. Equipment: Dryer, Washer Sewer: Sewer Connected Topography: GSL
