2905 Nichols, San Diego

A San Diego Landmark of many years, this historic property offers the best of all worlds. A huge, gated property with lawns and gardens, this house is the epitome of perfection. Its large formal rooms offer ever-changing vistas of the bay with its myriad of watercraft. The private dock provides moorage for your boat of up to 30' and the bath house provides changing rooms for you and your guests when you want to swim or just build sand castles along the water's edge.

The master bedroom with its two balconies offers a quiet retreat with views across the water, Shelter Island, the City of San Diego with the mountains providing a dramatic backdrop. Designed by William Templeton Johnson, the architect responsible for the "look" of Balboa Park and many of San Diego's premier buildings, this exquisite home has been the site of many grand events over the decades and its restoration enables that tradition to continue. The hand painted beams of the living room, the mahogany paneled library, and the dramatic large formal dining room with its herringbone hardwood floors provide limitless entertaining opportunities. With four en suite bedrooms upstairs as well as a fully self contained apartment for guests or staff. The kitchen offers every amenity and opens to a stone floored morning room whose atrium ceiling combines sea and sky in brilliant hues throughout the day. Truly a treasure for the lucky few, this property is also covered by the Mills Act Historic property tax program providing significant tax savings.
