Located in the prestigious Bankers Hill neighborhood near Balboa Park and downtown San Diego, sits this very rare and richly appointed 1922 Georgian Revival historical home. Built for those with a preference for grandeur and elegance, the Dodds-Bennet home features over four thousand square feet with four bedrooms and four and a half baths. The home is true to the ambiance of the era with exceptional modern day finishes and was brilliantly renovated in 2009. Exquisite architectural appointments accent the interior and exterior of the home including clean lines of marble, antique floors, extensive crown molding, attractive stone, copper, and beautiful brick work. The formal living and dining room are the perfect contrast to the cozy family room and offer a level of sophistication not found elsewhere. The open kitchen is gorgeous with views to the backyard and features Carrera marble and honed countertops, Viking appliances, a sub-zero refrigerator, wine cooler, and two butler?s pantries. Relax in your master suite with a fireplace and spa-like bathroom with a walk-in closet, great bathtub and walk-in shower, dual sinks, mahogany cabinets and floor to ceiling marble. Two bedrooms are located just off the master retreat and offer sizeable closets as well as their own private bath. The charming one bedroom carriage house has separate access and is complete with a full bath and closet. It is the ideal place for your guests to stay or for a maid or nanny. Perfect for warm sunny days and cool nights, friends and family will enjoy the back yard with grassy area and veranda covered, brick patio. Technologically, the home features the most up-to-date surround system throughout the interior and exterior and there is a security surveillance video at the front and side gates. The finished basement has ample space for a wine cellar or could be used for added storage. Additional features include a breakfast area, garden room, nicely finished two car garage, and a laundry room conveniently located on the second story. The home has views of the bay and city lights and is lushly landscaped with traditional gardens and specimen plantings. This unique home was featured on the cover of San Diego Home and Garden in December of 2009 and was the 1999 San Diego Historical Society Annual Showcase Home. As featured in the Union Tribune, it is also the starting point for a walking tour throughout the neighborhood of Bankers Hill. The renovation in 2009 was a major collaboration of Tekton Master Builders, Brazzon-Danek Architecture, and Sarah Howard Design. This is your chance to experience a part of history from this truly extraordinary home with unsurpassed quality and style.
