The 1.45 acre lot features the main house with 6 bedrooms & 4.5 baths and a generous accessory dwelling unit with a full kitchen, bar, & 1.5 bath, and approximately 2000sqft. Garage parking for 5 vehicles plus two separate drive courts. Includes a recreational / pickle-ball tennis court, large pool / jacuzzi, with beautiful and exotic terraced landscaping with rose flagstone walks and patios encompassing the property with views of, San Diego Bay, Mt. Helix and Cowles Mountain. Built-in 1950, the home was built with modern principles and detailing. The main house features a Piloti design blurring the line between the interior and exterior. The open plan in the front of the home allows flexible use of the living space. Large glass corner and horizontal windows reflect the contemporary post and beam structure with extended overhangs providing ample shade and covered outdoor space. The bedrooms and bathrooms efficiently line the common corridor beyond leading to a spacious master bedroom, with a large cedar-lined walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. The craft and quality are visible as the solid wood floors celebrate joinery with inlay detailing, elegant wool carpet, a full-height travertine fireplace, and the brass knob details on every door. Improvements include a new roof, new A/C, plumbing systems, and kitchen with WOLF range. The property is ideal for entertaining on a grand scale, or, just as comfortably as a private residence. The original landowner (1920's-1949) was a world traveled botanist who successfully cultivated many of his exotic tree species that remain today. La Mesa Highlands is located due west of Mt. Helix and 3 miles east of San Diego State University. The location offers easy walking access into La Mesa Village for dining and shopping.
