About This Home

As of August 2025

Perched atop a private hillside, this fully remodeled mid-century modern gem offers serenity, ultimate privacy, and dramatic 180 degree views of sunsets, ocean, mountains, and clear-day Catalina. The open floor plan is bathed in natural light, with two large sliders in the living room seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing cool ocean breezes to flow throughout the home. The remodeled kitchen shines with quartz waterfall countertops, custom flat-panel walnut and shaker cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. This home features beautifully upgraded luxury vinyl flooring throughout, wide bedroom doors, and stylishly remodeled bathrooms with premium finishes and design fixtures. The primary suite boasts an original brick accent wall and a walk-in closet. Step outside to lush, fully irrigated, exotic succulent landscaping, stately palms, and a rich variety of Vista's renown citrus and avocado trees. A fronting green grass yard soothes the vistas while an adjacent sheltered terrace with its gas fireplace and outdoor shower, create this very private estate. The .78-acre lot is fully enclosed with a newer fence and new automated gate with remote and keypad. Renovated in 2022, this sophisticated home blends timeless midcentury design with modern convenience, offering a perfect blend of style and functionality.
