On the main level, a high-end kitchen with a clever sliding butler's door flows into open living spaces. Retract the expansive sliding patio doors and the living room simply becomes part of the outdoors. Downstairs, two en-suite bedrooms each offer an expansive bath with soaking tub. The primary suite adds a built-in wet bar and direct access to the lower deck, blurring the line between bedroom and backyard. Outside is a private, Zen-like sanctuary: a waterfall cascading into the spa; a koi pond framed by the shaded lower deck, and an elevated terrace for soaking up the San Diego sun. Host from the outdoor kitchen or unwind by the fireplace under the stars. A full guest suite above the garage, with its own private entrance and bathroom, offers a sophisticated retreat for visitors or a quiet creative studio/flex space. Solar-powered and finished with an uncompromising eye for detail, Bridge House is a rare gem that photos simply can't capture. The incredible location near Whole Foods, bars, restaurants, and more provides a walkable and convenient lifestyle in the heart of Hillcrest without sacrificing your living space.
