European inspired architecture is common place throughout San Diego, yet few capture the true essence, and passion of region. 7937 Artesian road is homage to the traditional Italian Tuscan Villa. Resting comfortably on 2.5 acres, of finely manicured, mature foliage, lies a single level estate rich with details.

Once behind the gated entry, the journey begins with a professionally designed entry vestibule, reminiscent of Tuscan villas of old, where structures like the antique stone arches conjure up the memories of traveling the Italian countryside.  A formal living room with a cast concrete rendition of ancient traditional European design intrigues. A quick glance through the arch ways reveals the Trompe-l’œil, or trick of eye which creates the illusion you’re in Italy! With hand carved authentic distressed beams throughout, all with a stunning faux painted finish. The attention to color and shading is masterful. Famed artisan Danny Berg, who work is featured on the ceiling murals at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, has transformed the interior and exterior of the structure to feel more like Florence, than Southern California.

The luxury continues to amaze with, hand carved custom alder-wood cabinets, solid mahogany doors and windows with vintage hardware throughout. A traditional stone fireplace with recessed arches and raised stone hearth in the family room leads to an equally impressive modern kitchen with top line Wolf appliances, hand painted decorative tiles,  copper faux painted ceiling The master suite is truly inspiring, with a European soaker tub, custom vanity, faucets, private patio and over-sized mahogany doors.The outdoor spaces are very authentic with a traditional Tuscan antique stone structure, used as an entertainer’s room.  Complete with antique leaded glass windows and doors, heavy hand carved beams, slate roof, brick flooring and adjacent  patios with built in stone bar whisk guest away to another time!
