About this home
A rare Mt. Helix architectural treasure designed by renowned architect Kotaro Nakamura, this award-winning residence is a masterful blend of Japanese design principles and Southern California living. Honored with an Award of Excellence by San Diego Home & Garden Magazine, the home is centered around a tranquil Zen garden—visible from nearly every room—creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

Palomar, offering a striking sense of place, intention, and reverence for natural materials. The U-shaped floor plan embraces the formal garden and water features, filling the home with light, calm, and balance. This stunning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers approximately 2,471 sq ft of thoughtfully curated living space, showcasing raised hardwood floors, etched glass accents, and serene garden and ocean views on clear days of the Coronado Islands. The upgrades blend modern comfort with timeless design, while the meticulously designed landscaping is reminiscent of the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park. Every corner of reminiscent of this half acre is curated for beauty, tranquility and a peaceful living experience. Additional features include Japanese ceramic tile roofing with rolled stainless steel, dual HVAC systems, water filtration, granite countertops, indirect lighting, integrated security, ethanol fireplace and more—each detail selected with intention and craftsmanship. A truly special offering—peaceful, refined, and architecturally significant—this is Mt. Helix living at its finest. People are drawn to Mt. Helix for its rare blend of elevated views, privacy, and community charm. Perched above La Mesa, the area offers sweeping panoramas, a peaceful residential feel, and distinctive homes on larger lots—many custom-designed to embrace the hillside setting.
