About This Home
As of July 2025Architectural canyon retreat by Batter Kay blends modern design, smart tech, and immersive nature. Just steps to Spruce St Bridge & Balboa Park, this 4,188 sqft home features a Control4 system, Concord elevator, paid 40-panel solar, 3-car garage, chef’s kitchen w/Sub-Zero, Thermador, Dacor, Bosch, walk-in pantry, and laundry room w/sink. Spa-like primary suite has a jetted tub with canyon view, heated towel racks, walk-in custom closet, fireplace & private deck. Floor-to-ceiling windows, electronic blinds, and 1,391 sq ft of decks create a serene, treehouse-like setting. Zen Waterfall Patio + hawk, squirrel & hummingbird sightings make this home a true sanctuary. Designed by Batter Kay Architects and set in San Diego’s historic Arroyo Canyon, this home is a rare balance of artistry, privacy, and connection to nature. Steps from Balboa Park, Hillcrest, and the iconic Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, the home spans 4,188 sq ft of refined living space, complemented by 1,391 sq ft of elevated canyon-view decks. From the moment you enter, greeted by a calming entry water feature, you’ll feel the serenity woven into every detail. A Concord-brand elevator connects each level, while a paid 40-panel solar system(2023) powers the home. Floor-to-ceiling glass, electronic blinds, and a Control4 Smart Home System bring light, technology, and energy efficiency together seamlessly. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with Thermador, Sub-Zero, Bosch, Dacor appliances, a warming drawer, walk-in pantry, and artistic tilework. The primary suite offers spa-style living with a jetted soaking tub, heated towel racks, gas fireplace, walk-in custom closet, and private deck. Just down the hall, a Zen Waterfall Patio offers a hidden outdoor lounge complete with a stone waterfall and sculptural wall art. It’s one of many private spaces where nature takes center stage. Birdwatch from your breakfast table. Spot a hawk perched at eye level. Watch squirrels dart through eucalyptus limbs or lizards bask in the sun. This isn’t just a home—it’s a living ecosystem, elevated above the city yet rooted in its rhythm. A 1,146 sq ft basement with a private street-level entry offers potential for a guest suite, studio, or 2 bed/2 bath conversion. This is a true architectural retreat—where design, wildlife, and wellness coexist.
