Located in the heart of Bankers Hill, originally designed by Louis Gill in 1924 as his first “Canyon House” and completely renovated in 2015 to maintain every historic detail while integrating open concept floorplans and rebuilding the unique canyon living spaces originally imagined and designed by Kate Sessions.

Professionally designed kitchen, two master suites, living room, dining room, family den with kitchen and bar, large office with porch and both hidden and secret entrances, two interior and two exterior gas fireplaces, two gas fire pits, covered pergola and wonderful fenestration providing different canyon views from every window on all three floors. Superb well-designed closet space on every floor and massive master suite walk-in closet. The original three story circular oak staircase and new three story LEV elevator provide access to every floor. Front yard lanai with fireplace and side yard patio provide special places for breakfast at dawn or drinks at dusk. Outside, multiple stone staircases cascade down the canyon to five finished and beautifully planted terraces. A complete canyon kitchen and huge stone fireplace provide a private gathering space on the upper terrace. An orchard provides 15 varieties of citrus with automatic irrigation throughout the property. Off-street parking for three cars and a large tool room hidden beneath one of the stone staircases. Private entrance building and remotely controlled driveway gate ensure privacy and security. Property was featured in the June, 2018 San Diego Home and Gardens magazine.
