Overlooking San Diego’s Mission Valley and Riverwalk Golf Course, the Arcadia Residence is a newly constructed, 4,200-square-foot home designed to make the most of its elevated setting. A thoughtfully organized reverse floor plan places the primary living spaces on the upper level, where expansive views and natural light become defining elements of the home.
Arrival begins at street level through an enclosed entry courtyard, creating a sense of privacy and transition from the neighborhood. The upper level opens into a dramatic Great Room, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces come together against a panoramic backdrop overlooking Mission Valley and the golf course—creating a natural setting for everyday living and entertaining.
The first level provides a more private retreat, anchored by the primary suite and home office. On the lowest level, two additional bedroom suites are complemented by a home theater, wine cave, and laundry room, creating a comfortable and self-contained environment for family and guests. A two-car garage completes the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence.
Originally conceived as a speculative home, the partially completed property was acquired by Bluepointe Development after construction had stalled. Larimer Design collaborated with Bluepointe to refine the residence, including modifications to the primary bedroom suite and the selection of interior finishes throughout the home, helping bring greater cohesion and character to the completed design.
The result is a sophisticated hillside residence that uses its vertical organization to turn Mission Valley’s expansive views into an integral part of the everyday living experience.
