Description
At 3235 Harbor View Drive, the name isn't aspirational; it's an understatement. This expansive Mediterranean, five-bedroom Point Loma residence commands a rare, sweeping panorama. Mountain sunrises unfold across Shelter Island's mast-lined marinas and expand over the glittering expanse of San Diego Bay and the Pacific beyond. Virtually every room is framed by a different chapter of that view. A true chef's kitchen, outfitted with high-end appliances, and ample cabinetry, fuses with a living space designed for the kind of gatherings where nobody wants to leave. A dedicated office overlooks the bay, turning the daily grind into something closer to meditation. Thoughtful details elevate the everyday: a built-in dumbwaiter ferries groceries from the attached garage level up to kitchen, and a second detached garage off the rear alley is ideal for additional vehicles or future creative use. Architectural details elevate the experience at every turn, from softly arched barreled hallways that guide you through the home to wrought iron Juliet balconies that frame the bay and invite in ocean breezes. Step outside to a spacious view patio and an enchanting, private yard, and you begin to understand why this address delivers an unmatched lifestyle. All of this is just minutes from Liberty Station’s dining and arts scene, the beaches of Sunset Cliffs, highly regarded schools, local yacht clubs and downtown San Diego. This is not simply a home with an incredible view. It is a front-row seat to the best of Point Loma living: elevated, private, and endlessly inspiring. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams lend the open kitchen, dining, and living areas a warmth and scale that few homes on the peninsula can match. Rich hardwood floors carry through the primary living spaces. The kitchen centers on a curved, furniture-grade island with granite countertops and a professional-grade Wolf six-burner range. The office is a showpiece in its own right: ornate pressed-tin coffered ceiling panels in a copper finish, dark wood millwork, built-in library shelving, and dual French doors opening onto a pair of wrought iron Juliet balconies overlooking the bay. A wet bar and additional seating area are just outside the office. The primary suite's walk-in closet features custom built-in cabinetry and skylights, while the en suite bath is finished with natural stone countertops and crystal sconces. Outdoor living unfolds across multiple levels, including a pergola-shaded Saltillo tile courtyard with vine-covered lattice privacy walls and lantern lighting, plus a separate terracotta-tiled balcony overlooking the yard. Mature tropical landscaping, towering palms, a columned entry portico, and a wrought iron pedestrian gate complete a property where the craftsmanship was considered as carefully as the address.
