The front door of this CA home for sale is unforgettable — seriously. See why

An elegant home in San Diego is drawing attention thanks to a main centerpiece — the front door.

Listed for $3.875 million, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence is 4,219 square feet and in the coveted Point Loma neighborhood in the coastal city. While many unique features help the house stand alone, the primary one is a doozy.

“Built by renowned contractor Dave Fleet, this residence showcases a perfect blend of innovative design and timeless elegance,” the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty describes.

“As you arrive, the beautifully landscaped grounds transport you to a serene resort-like oasis. The centerpiece of the entrance is a breathtaking 30-foot hand-carved Ironwood front door from Costa Rica, flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light.”

Yes, the door is ginormous, to say the least, and appears to be rather heavy, if judged by the photos.
