Overlooking Arroyo Canyon and offering peek bay and skyline views, this large multi-level home is located on picturesque Dove Street in South Mission Hills. Built in 1966 in a minimal traditional style, the home’s early owner, an architect, added on using a modern architectural look. The result: large rooms with tall ceiling height that connect & draw attention to the green canyon in the backyard. Within a stone’s throw of Bankers Hill and close to Little Italy, the house is part of a collection of charming homes in a welcoming neighborhood. The house is set back from the street for privacy and has a large front porch. One bedroom and bath are located on level 1; step down to the family room where tall sliding glass doors open to the private yard. One of 2 primary bedrooms and baths is off the family room. A half flight of stairs then takes you to the top floor, occupied by the 2nd primary bdrm and bath, and features a loft-style wall open to below. The yard has a gazebo-like structure, which could be converted to a 2-car garage; there are storage sheds in the back. The neighborhood is close to restaurants, shops, coffee shops, Balboa Park, downtown, San Diego Bay, and offers quick access to beaches, freeways, and San Diego Airport.
