point loma occupies one of san diego′s most geographically privileged positions: a peninsula flanked by the pacific to the west and san diego bay to the east, placing residents minutes from downtown, the airport, shelter island′s waterfront restaurants and marinas, and the cultural hub of liberty station; a former naval training center reimagined as a thriving district of galleries, chef-driven dining, craft brewing, and open parkland. the cabrillo national monument sits at the peninsula′s southern tip, offering tide pools, whale watching, and one of the most photographed vantage points on the california coast. families benefit from the point loma cluster within san diego unified along with the renowned high tech charter schools. the area′s quieter streets and established sense of community meld seamlessly with world-class sailing at the san diego and southwestern yacht clubs, the iconic bali hai restaurant on shelter island, and the summer concert series at humphreys by the bay. sunset cliffs, ocean beach, and some of the best sport fishing in southern california are all within a short drive, making point loma the rare san diego address where coastal serenity, urban access, and genuine neighborhood character converge without compromise.
at 3235 harbor view drive, the name isn′t aspirational; it′s an understatement. this expansive mediterranean, five-bedroom point loma residence commands a rare, sweeping panorama. mountain sunrises unfold across shelter island′s mast-lined marinas and expand over the glittering expanse of san diego bay to coronado and the pacific beyond. virtually every room is framed by a different chapter of that view. a true chef′s kitchen, outfitted with high-end appliances, generous pantry storage, and ample cabinetry, fuses with a living space designed for the kind of gatherings where nobody wants to leave. a dedicated office overlooks the bay, turning the daily grind into something closer to meditation. thoughtful details elevate the everyday: a built-in dumbwaiter ferries groceries from the attached garage level up to kitchen, and a second detached garage off the rear alley is ideal for additional vehicles, a workshop, or future creative use. architectural details elevate the experience at every turn, from softly arched barreled hallways that guide you through the home to wrought iron juliet balconies that frame the bay and invite in ocean breezes. step outside to a spacious view patio and an enchanting, private yard, and you begin to understand why this address delivers a lifestyle most people only experience vacationing. all of this is just minutes from liberty station’s dining and arts scene, the beaches of sunset cliffs, highly regarded schools, local yacht clubs and downtown san diego. this is not simply a home with an incredible view. it is a front-row seat to the best of point loma living: elevated, private, and endlessly inspiring.
