Situated on one acre in the prestigeous Preserve at Mission Valley this beautiful mediteranean style John Cannon custom built home is an example of craftmanship at its best.

As you approach this estate you are greeted by a gorgeous entrance with its cobblestone drive, lined with stately Royal palms. The grand entrance is acentuated by the castle like steel double entry doors leading to your foyer with soaring ceiling heights. The open floor plan consists of great room, kitchen and dining. No detail has been missed, the Great room enjoys a rustic Shell Stone fireplace with a generous tv space and a comforting flame from the gas fireplace. Hovering above is the grand coffered ceiling, with a majestic mahogany appearance.

The expansive kitchen will satisfy even the most skilled culinary experts with its Miele appliances including a 6 burner gas range with a griddle, microwave, convection oven, wine cooler, subzero refrigerator and freezer. You will enjoy the walk-in pantry and the center island with a food prep sink and the huge breakfast bar with granite counter tops. The dining area shares the brick layed ceiling that is a show piece in itself. From the kitchen, dining area and great room you have an awesome view of the saltwater, heated pool and spa surrounded by brick pavers through the 10 foot impact resistant pocket sliders that also boast one touch motorized room darkening blinds.

Off of the Bonus room is the lanai with an outdoor kitchen perfect for entertaining around the pool, the half bath from the lanai is a Jack and Jill with the Bonus room. With the push of a button your hurricane shutters come down and the party can continue on the lanai. The entire west wing houses the Primary bedroom suite with a sitting area and passage to the pool area. There are his and hers walk-in closets with floor to ceiling storage and the master bath with dual sinks and stone counters is accented by the cast iron claw foot soaking tub. The Roman shower is 9 by 5 and has multiple shower heads with a rain type showerhead in the center. All four bedrooms have a bathroom and the study is perfect for a home office or music room.
