For those who crave privacy and a connection to nature without giving up the vibrancy of San Diego city life, this North Mission Hills home embodies it all. Set behind a private courtyard, is a 1938 canyon bungalow, designed by famed architect Lillian Rice, showcasing her philosophy that patios and decks should dissolve the boundaries between home and nature. Inside, oak floors, a wall of windows framing the canyon, a rebuilt fireplace, original built ins, and an open kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele dishwasher, and Bertazzoni range create a light-filled yet cozy living environment. The primary bedroom opens directly to the back deck for an immersive nature experience, while the bathroom has been thoughtfully refreshed within the past four years. Modern comforts include a 2-car garage, whole house water purification, newer water heater, central heating and air, complemented by the efficiency of owned solar sufficient to power electric vehicles. Centrally located, the home is steps from neighborhood cafés, village-style shopping, top-rated Grant (TK-8), and Pioneer Park, with Downtown, Old Town, San Diego Bay, and the region’s finest beaches only minutes away. Whether savoring the vibrant community nearby or retreating into the quiet privacy of your canyon retreat, this residence exemplifies the best of San Diego’s urban–coastal lifestyle.
