Description

Welcome to The Coulter House, an extraordinary six-bedroom estate in the heart of San Diego’s prestigious Bankers Hill. This historic marvel, completed in 1916, was designed by the renowned LA architect Carleton Winslow Sr at the request of the Coulter Family. The Coulter House epitomizes Mission Revival architecture, offering a rare opportunity to experience the grandeur of a bygone era with the comforts of modern living. With panoramic ocean views, elegant interiors, and a rich history as a social center for San Diego’s elite, this exclusive property is perfect for those who appreciate history, architecture, and luxury.

What we love about The Coulter House:
* Historic Elegance: Experience the timeless beauty of Mission Revival architecture, with meticulously preserved interiors that transport you to a bygone era. The Coulter House has a storied past as a gathering place for the city’s elite, hosting events and celebrations that have become part of San Diego’s cultural fabric.
* Spacious and Luxurious Accommodations: The home features six beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a primary suite with a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in closet, and private deck.
* Entertainment and Relaxation: The upper-level family den is perfect for gatherings. It features a pool table, a vintage-style multi-game arcade machine, lounge area with a smart TV, wet bar, and access to a roof deck with stunning views.
* Outdoor Living: Enjoy al fresco dining in the charming courtyard, equipped with a BBQ gas grill and shaded by a pergola—ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests.
* Unique Features: The home includes a garage for secure parking, a record player for vintage musical vibes, and plenty of space to unwind in style.
