Sale, Trade, Rent San Diego Charmer, Price Reduced

Elegant home on prestigous Mt. Helix with panoramic views and assured value for the owner. A unique property designed and built to last by John Mortenson, architect of many beautiful properties in the region. It has been carefully blended into the rough landscape of the mountain, positioned above the fog line, looking down on hawks circling the still-wild neighboring fields.

The home at 9620 Alto Drive reflects the best of the Mt. Helix environment; there is no other house like it. This proposed sale is well supported by the local market, and is surely one of the best bargains on Mt. Helix.

Working from a fundamentally sound structure and slightly angular floor plan, the original house has been updated and re-finished to reflect a more modern decor. A number of new features which are expected by discerning homeowners have been added to the original plan... a lap pool providing a reflected view from the open living and dining areas, a deck reaching out into the valley to enhance the "Tuscan" view, a larger master suite worthy of an upscale living style, a refreshed and brightened entry and a very special sun room. All kitchen and bath appliances have been upgraded in quality and function; the walls are finished with warm, modern colors and real bamboo; a luxurious carpet has been installed that feels good on bare feet, and real hardwood and faux wood floors in four rooms complete the modern floor treatments.

The main bathrooms --two full and two 3/4 --are also carpeted, and the small wash room off the butler's pantry, itself a half bath, is a convenient pleasure. The master bath has an under-sink heater for instant hot water. The bedroom layout includes a guest suite, another room which can also be an office or study, and a master suite with his and her baths and large dressing area rimmed with closets.

The living area looks over the lap pool and valley behind through soaring, floor-to-ceiling windows fitted with tapestry drapes. A gaming nook is included in this large area of the home which wraps around a huge wood/gas fireplace.

The home plan now offers about 2800 square feet of living area (not including the sun room) on a half-acre lot, plus an oversize double garage with Race Deck flooring.

Owner plans to return to his corporate headquarters in Texas. It is possible a buyer has a property to trade, in California or Texas Hill Country... or perhaps a lease with an option to buy in 12 months would best suit a buyer.
