In what is billed as the longest-running holiday home tour west of the Mississippi, All-Souls\u2019 Episcopal Church will celebrate its 60th Diamond Jubilee on Saturday, Dec. 3 with this year\u2019s offering of six Point Loma homes.\u00a0 A Saint Nicholas Marketplace, afternoon tea and featured musicians at All Souls\u2019 church are also included in the day\u2019s festivities, which run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\u00a0 On the tour is a newly-built waterfront “organic contemporary” home, featuring hand-painted canvases depicting the outdoors and hung as wallpaper in the children\u2019s wing, along with a carved queen-size bunk bed.\u00a0 Banisters were created by casting individual bronze leaves and fastening them to one another.\u00a0 Upstairs is a master suite and an expansive outdoor living room with a full kitchen that boasts a sweeping view of La Playa Cove.\u00a0 \u00a0In homage to the church\u2019s 50th annual home tour, a grand, traditional residence will again be open to the public.\u00a0This home will be decorated with family holiday items, including a snow “village” and a collection of nativities. \u00a0A traditional Spanish-style home on the tour was built in the 1920s and featured on the home tour in 1981.\u00a0 Since then, the owner, an interior decorator, has made numerous upgrades, most recently to the kitchen.\u00a0\u00a0 The home will be decorated lavishly for the holidays.\u00a0 \u00a0Also on the tour is a recently remodeled Santa Barbara-style home that creates a surprisingly open, airy living environment.\u00a0Near the entrance is a curbside succulent garden, a small bridge and a large pond.\u00a0 The courtyard features a relaxing fountain.\u00a0 The home is filled with custom architectural features and international accents that reflect the owners\u2019 extensive time abroad.\u00a0 The backyard is a sanctuary, with a relaxing spa and a large aviary.\u00a0 There are more than 20 varieties of banana trees and customized “rain chains” enable the recycling of rain water. Another recently remodeled home is in Craftsman style, filled with family antiques and treasures.\u00a0 There is a stately Torrey Pines tree in the front yard and many fine details including custom “joinery” woodworking and a copper fireplace surround. As a bonus this year, a newly completed “dome home,” dubbed “The greenest house in San Diego,” will be open during the tour.\u00a0 The owner spent the better part of a decade developing the eco-conscious dwelling and said he is proud of the fact that decades from now his grandchildren will be using the same light bulbs that light the home today.\u00a0\u00a0 From its sky-painted ceiling to its radiant floor heating, the home evokes an emotional response from almost everyone who walks through the front door. Advance tickets for the home tour are $25 and are available online at www.allsoulshometour.net, or by visiting Southern Accents Antiques on Newport Avenue, Walter Anderson Nursery on Enterprise Street or at the Mission Hills Nursery on Fort Stockton Drive.\u00a0 Tickets are $30 on the day of the event and can be purchased at All Souls\u2019 Episcopal Church. \u00a0The funds raised by the event go to support a variety of compassionate ministries locally and overseas. \u00a0For tickets or information, visit All Souls\u2019 Episcopal Church,at 1475 Catalina Blvd., call (619) 223-6394, or visit www.allsoulshometour.net.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
