About this property

Tucked away in the secluded Arroyo Canyon enclave of Bankers Hill, Zen is an understatement of this home. 2871 Brant Street is a truly rare San Diego offering where Mid-Century Modern design, sweeping Bay  & partial ocean views and a resort-inspired outdoor living come together in an unforgettable private retreat. From the moment you enter, abundant natural light and an expansive open-concept floor plan create a sophisticated yet effortless environment designed for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. A newly installed accordion door opens the main living space directly to the deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience and bringing the incredible surroundings into the heart of the home. Every bedroom enjoys its own deck access, offering a private connection to the outdoors and spectacular canyon, city, and Bay views. The primary suite is a destination of its own, featuring a private deck and a soaking tub positioned to take in the breathtaking scenery. Additional 2 of the bedrooms overlook the dramatic three-story waterfall flowing through the lush backyard. Step outside and discover an entertainer’s paradise. Multiple decks create an abundance of space for dining, lounging, gathering, and enjoying the spectacular San Diego climate. From here, take in Mission Bay, ocean horizons, and sparkling city lights a rare combination of scenery from such a central location. The home’s unique orientation also creates an unexpected sense of tranquility. From the decks, you can watch aircraft approaching and departing over San Diego while enjoying a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere within the home. For the nature enthusiast, the property is extraordinary. Mature tropical landscaping and the surrounding canyon create a private habitat where hawks, doves, hummingbirds, and other birds regularly visit. A charming treehouse tucked into the landscape offers an elevated view toward Mission Bay, creating a magical space to enjoy morning coffee, watch wildlife, or simply take in the sunset as home is west facing. Inside, beautifully updated bathrooms, new flooring, generous living spaces, and thoughtful architectural details create a home that is both turnkey and full of character. The main level offers flexible living with a bedroom and full bath, while the upper level provides additional private bedroom spaces and exceptional views. And then there is the location. Enjoy the rare ability to feel completely removed from the city while being approximately half a mile from freeway access, about 2 miles from San Diego International Airport, and just minutes from Balboa Park, Little Italy, Downtown, the waterfront, and some of San Diego’s finest restaurants and cultural destinations. This is not simply a home it is a private canyon sanctuary, an entertainer’s dream and front-row seat to the natural beauty of San Diego.
