Tucked behind the secured gates of Alvarado Estates, this private canyon retreat blends architectural character with effortless California living. Set on approximately sixty thousand square feet, the property offers a rare sense of space, seclusion, and uninterrupted natural backdrop. A custom bridge entry leads to a striking front door and into a light-filled interior with expansive southern views and warm, inviting living spaces. The living room opens seamlessly to the outdoors, creating a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Additionally, the great room offers a nature show with a spectacular view. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and refined finishes—anchored by spaces that invite gathering, from the built-in China cabinet, two beverage bars and a 200-bottle wine cellar. Outside, the home transforms into a true retreat. An oversized pool, multiple sun-drenched decks, and an outdoor kitchen set the stage for long afternoons and sunset evenings. Mature landscaping and tree-lined borders provide privacy, while a small orchard adds charm. In addition, you will enjoy the beautifully landscaped community park that includes a tot lot, a dog park, putting green and a place for tranquility and to socialize with neighbors. Located in one of San Diego’s most centrally positioned gated communities residents of Alvarado Estates enjoy a rare balance of security and privacy, as well as easy freeway connections, with convenient access to beaches, downtown, and beyond.
