Step into this spell-binding Spanish eclectic home and the hidden paradise that awaits in the lush, forest-like canyon backyard. 5 levels of patios & decks provide multiple private outdoor vignettes enveloped by a canopy of trees overhead and potted ferns/plants that rival the beauty of the San Diego Zoo's landscaped pathways - it is truly a magical botanical wonderland. Speaking of green, save some with the owned 17 solar photovoltaic panels on the roof! In true Swedish fashion, a built-in sauna room awaits outside the lower level with an adjacent private outdoor shower. Both main & lower levels have primary bedroom options, one accessed at the base of the wrought iron spiral staircase with adjacent reading/library nook and downstairs bathroom. With the unique charm, character & architectural integrity of this special property, this home with refinished hardwood floors in the main living areas, and yard, are a canvas for your inner artist and a gardener's Xanadu!
Al fresco dining/lounging options abound - one beneath the large covered patio off the kitchen & adjacent den and another on the main lower deck beneath the canopy of trees. Owned solar photovoltaic system installed in 2022 with 17 panels! Plenty of storage options throughout the property and separate places to house your favorite furry or feathered pets - a standup height covered enclosure previously housed ducks! Tree specimens include an amazing Dragon tree and also many fruit trees - Meyer lime, lemon, Washington orange, Haas avocado, kumquats, Buddha's hand, tangerines and a fig for good measure! A separate entrance bonus room (not included in the square footage) may work as a private office or old school photography dark room. Come explore your own enchanting urban garden and captivating canyon retreat!
