Welcome to your new home, where no detail was spared. From a circular driveway to tropical backyard, the sprawling property is located inside coveted Del Sur Estates. The single-level 5,700 square foot home was meticulously constructed by award-winning custom home builder Monty McCullough. Now offered for the first time by its original owner, the estate is appointed with 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. Imagine the unparalleled privacy of a 1.11-acre cul-de-sac lot in the center of Del Sur's most valued community. Bordered by a backyard berm, there is no neighbor behind. The appeal is unmistakable the moment you approach the home. You enter through custom dual doors of wrought iron and glass. Extensive use of wainscot paneling and tall baseboards leads the way to formal living and dining rooms with picturesque views of the resort-like grounds. The formal gathering place contains a tall fireplace accented by full height wainscot paneling, built-in cabinetry and shelves. The rich wood floors continue into formal halls leading to two primary wings. The north wing features a spacious master suite with built-in media center, elegant master shower tile-work, and custom built-in dressers in an oversized walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms are in the north wing, each with en suite full baths and walk-in closets. An oversized laundry roomeasily two to three times the expected sizeis centrally located. The south wing includes primary and secondary family rooms and an open-concept kitchen. You will find a secondary dining room/formal breakfast area, and two additional bedrooms. One bedroom serves as a guest's quarters with its own beach stone entry, and the other is a beautiful office with front-facing windows. The kitchen boasts a truly spacious island with main and veggie preparation sinks. High-end Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances await you, along with butlers and walk-in pantries that add to the grandeur. The kitchen overflows into the primary family room, which opens to a generous California Room perfect for al fresco dining and fireside chats. The layout thoughtfully blends indoor/outdoor living to maximize the advantages of San Diego weather. The owners' $300,000 investment in the exterior underscores the priority of entertaining.
