Extraordinary Mid-Century Masterpiece by legendary architect Richard Wheeler, AIA. Offered for sale by the original commissioning family, this contemporary Alvarado Estates residence has never been on the market. As you enter the circular driveway you notice how private this residence is. On the inside, you are immediately met w/ an abundance of natural light coming through the floor to ceiling, wall to wall windows on both the exterior and the interior courtyard, visible from every room. See supp remarks
Known for creating awe-inspiring yet comfortable living, Richard Wheeler created a single story home with open wood beam ceilings in the living room, stone fireplace and an elegant use of space in the bedrooms. This home sits on 1.5 acres facing north east over a private canyon with views of 5 San Diego mountains from the 180 degree plus vista in the backyard. The beautiful crescent shaped pool with diving board is perfectly mid century and the landscaping is a tribute to the Hawaiian tropical trend all throughout the era it was built in. Come see this incredible piece of San Diego history and make it yours! Alvarado Estates is a private gated community with a staffed kiosk at the gate 7 days/week, private community park with a fenced, leash free dog area and quarterly events. Buyer to verify all prior to close of escrow.
