ICONIC BALBOA ISLAND COASTAL MASTERPIECE. Nestled on the Little Island, this historic treasure was built in 1928 by a local sea captain. With nearly a century of memories held within its walls, this stunning residence is a masterpiece of restoration and charm. The home seamlessly blends modern luxuries with a deep commitment to its original character and soul. Situated on a prime corner lot, it enjoys abundant natural light, as well as offering an unmatched sense of privacy.****As you enter the main house, you’ll discover four bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths unfold in a graceful blend of history and refinement. Every inch of this home has been curated with care and meticulous attention to detail, from the lathe and plaster walls to the handpicked finishes, custom-made wainscoting, and exquisite molding. The chef’s kitchen, a true culinary sanctuary, features Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and stunning statuary marble countertops, all accented by gorgeous Concept Studio ceramics.**** Designed for effortless gatherings, the spacious dining room flows seamlessly into sunlit living spaces. French doors open to enchanting front and rear private patios perfect for quiet mornings, lively dinner parties, or simply soaking in the sun. For the discerning collector, a temperature-controlled, 600+ bottle wine cellar is discreetly tucked away, providing a secluded retreat for treasured vintages.****Above the garage, the guest house is a private sanctuary with its own separate entrance, offering a gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances and marble countertops, an inviting living and dining space, one bedroom and one bath, and a peek-a-boo harbor view. Whether used for guests or as a highly desirable rental income opportunity, this retreat mirrors the same thoughtful craftsmanship as the main home.****This is more than a residence—it is a rare and treasured piece of Little Balboa Island’s history. With beautiful architectural details throughout, this home is a perfect fusion of timeless craftsmanship and modern sophistication. A true island masterpiece, this residence embodies the elegance, heritage, and timeless beauty of seaside living—a place where the past and present exist in perfect harmony.
