Rarely does a property with architectural significance like this become available in "The Gates." This David Lorimer custom designed home was built in 2006 on over an acre with immaculate views of both the Upper Otay Reservoir and Hills with the caveat of being one of the few homes within The Gates to have a midcentury modern/cotemporary vibe complimented by superb indoor-outdoor living. For premium privacy, large exotic gates protect the cul de sac of four homes (within Gate 2) that leads to your own 100 foot driveway with a circular driveway, (ideal for entertaining any number of guests) as another private gate leads to the 4 car garage with an area large enough to park an RV. A large custom water feature greets you at the front door that showcases the hills through the tall Western stackable doors, highlighted by the junior size Olympic lap pool. The property consists of 5 bedrooms/5.5 baths (including an ADU), with one bedroom inside of the home operating as a guest house with its own kitchen, living room, outdoor sitting area and private entry. Home also has both a media room and an office on the lower level. Just outside the kitchen is a covered lanai with an additional waterfall and fireplace. Hardwood floors throughout (except for bathrooms) and radiant floor heating downstairs with individual zones. Property has 6 A/C zones and owned solar to power house and heat pool/spa. Outdoor gas fire pit that seats 12 and property has direct access to the Centennial Trail behind the home. Small HOA of $288. 20-25 minute drive to the beaches of San Diego!
