San Diego Home for Sale
Are you tired of "Mediterranean"... "Tuscan"... "Spanish"... "Semi-Custom"... and "Tract Homes" ? Well why not live in Old World Elegance... like this Stunning Dutch Colonial? In this photo... the Functional RV Parking is evident... as well as the oversized Three Car Attached Garage. Parking for the Largest of parties will never be a problem! Notice too... the January weather... this timeless roof line... designed for the heaviest of snow loads... will never be tested. The view of the entry from this angle is particularly good too... as you can see the Design Symmetry of the second floor windows above the Rich Warm Mahogany and Etched Glass Entry shown below. The roof is a Composition tile roof... world popular but not as common in California...with our Mission Tile Roofs. This Composition Tile Roof is a Class A fire rated roof... meaning that a burning ember should not ignite underlayment in less than a full hour of contact... and Steeper than any Mission Tile roof... this roof is designed to shed any item landing upon it.

First Impression... Class! Rich... Warm... Inviting... Elegant... yet old world Casual. How can this much space feel cozy? Here we see some of the many French Doors to the gardens. In the Formal Living Room... two double sets flow to the patio. At the far end of the Formal space... a towering "Boiserie" Fireplace Enclosure and Mantle... by East Coast Artisan Sal Marketa. An English Mahogany Masterpiece... with matching Bookcases in the opposite side Parlor. Detail?... hand hewn beams... etched "Gerlach" Windows... Antique light fixtures... Recessed Lighting... Accent Lighting... it is amazing. What you don't experience... High Ceilings... Cold... Average... Nice... Enough... Boredom... you just feel like flopping on that sofa or easy chair... and curling up to great novel... or maybe just a world class nap.
Here is a much better vantage of the stunning Fireplace Boiserie... and from the first photo above... on the far side of the Formal Living Room... the Elegant and Impressive Dining Room. French influenced Valances... Swags... Bay Windows... Double Hung Casements... Hand Carved Book Cases... Accent lighting... Antique Light Fixtures... and this is only the First Room you've seen! Here's a tough Choice... where do I put the Christmas Tree in this spectacular setting... possibly the family room you haven't seen yet... but opening the presents would be incredible in either of the spaces shown above.
