About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to this one-of-a-kind Mount Helix gem, hitting the market for the very first time! Lovingly maintained and owned by artists, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, freshly painted home offers 1,797 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, with artistic touches and curated details in every room. Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the heart of this home—light-filled spaces, timeless mid-century modern vibes, and an atmosphere that’s both stylish and welcoming. From custom accents to warm finishes, every inch reflects pride of ownership and care. Enter the private backyard through the covered, expansive breezeway and enjoy starry-night dips in the sparkling pool or quiet moments in the desert garden oasis. This home is made for sunning, relaxing, and soaking in the sweeping Mount Helix views. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee, this setting is nothing short of magical. Enjoy three distinct outdoor areas: the "Secret Garden" on the east side of the home, the generous and private breezeway, and the backyard retreat. Energy-efficient owned solar panels, a spacious lot, and the rare blend of privacy and proximity make this home even more special. Nestled in one of East County’s most sought-after neighborhoods, you’ll enjoy the peace of hillside living while still being just minutes from dining, shopping, and top-rated schools. This is more than a home—it’s a retreat, an expression of artistry, and a rare opportunity in one of San Diego’s most beloved communities. Don’t miss your chance to experience the Mount Helix lifestyle—this one won’t last!
