About this home

Constructed in 2004, this Mediterranean estate sits on 1.37 elevated acres in Poway with panoramic hill and valley views from virtually every room. The 5,595 sq ft residence includes a fully independent one-bedroom guest flat, a three-car garage, owned solar panels with Enphase battery backup, and grounds that encompass an ornamental koi pond, citrus orchard, terraced gardens, outdoor kitchen and gas fire pit. The level of craftsmanship, systems infrastructure, and thoughtful design throughout is exceptional. The chef's kitchen centers on a massive blue-green granite island with Miele appliances throughout, including built-in column refrigerator and freezer, a hand-carved range hood above an LP gas cooktop, and an artist-painted tile backsplash mural. The formal dining room wraps on three sides with curved windows framing unobstructed hill and valley views. A sweeping curved wrought iron staircase anchors the limestone entry foyer. Upstairs, the master suite includes a sitting room with fireplace and wet bar, a wraparound private terrace, an imported Rosso marble bath with soaking tub positioned before a bank of hill-view windows, a travertine walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet. Secondary bedrooms each have private baths and walk-in closets. A stone LP gas fire pit and citrus grove complete the outdoor program. A broad motor court accommodates eight or more vehicles. The wine cellar features 400-plus bottle redwood racking, dual built-in wine refrigerators, and a secondary storage room accessed through a speak-easy door.
