Property Description

From the moment you step into the backyard at 5198 Bocaw Place, the city disappears. A private canyon drops away behind the property into open sky, mature treetops, and the kind of stillness San Diego rarely offers. No rear neighbors. Just the canyon, and everything built around it. That backyard is something. A solar-heated pool anchors the space, with the deck and concrete patio flowing as one continuous level around it. A custom gazebo bar with reclaimed wood and iron barstools, a covered spa with full hot tub, a fire pit lounge overlooking the canyon, and a pergola-covered dining space strung with Edison lights make this one of the more complete outdoor entertaining setups you will find at any price in San Diego. A private botanical greenhouse, lit and fully planted, sits at the edge of the deck. Automated lighting and irrigation run everything front and back with no effort required. Inside, the kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, herringbone tile backsplash, a professional-grade range, quartz island with farmhouse sink, and Samsung stainless steel appliances throughout. Original hardwood floors. Swiss Coffee walls with coastal blue and canyon green accent walls in each bedroom that mirror the landscape outside. Thermally insulated windows and sliders keep the home quiet and full of natural light. The primary bath was fully reimagined with basketweave tile floors, frameless glass walk-in shower, and marble vanity. Custom closet systems in every bedroom. Electric fireplace with built-in heater and remote. Central air and heating. Updated electrical and plumbing. The garage holds a PRX Performance fold-away power rack, Tonal system, full set of dumbbells, medicine balls, plyo box, and fold-away bench. Everything stores against the wall when you need the parking spot back. Minutes from SDSU, freeways, dining, and shopping. The buyers who find this home are those who toured the $2 million properties and walked away asking: beautiful, but where would I actually live? The answer is here, on a canyon, with a backyard worth never leaving and summers that will be remembered for a long time.
