About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to one of Normal Heights’ most extraordinary residences, perfectly positioned on the best street in the neighborhood and perched high above a pristine canyon. This single-level modern home is a rare find, showcasing jaw-dropping views that sweep across Mission Valley and all the way to the ocean. From sunrise to sunset, the ever-changing vistas create a dramatic backdrop that feels like a living work of art. The centerpiece of the property is the infinity-edge pool, seemingly spilling into the canyon below, where the horizon blends seamlessly with the dramatic views. Designed for both intimate living and effortless entertaining, the home’s open layout is filled with natural light, featuring sleek finishes and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Windows throughout frame the views, ensuring that nearly every room takes full advantage of the spectacular setting. The residence offers an efficient yet thoughtful floor plan, with two spacious bedrooms that open directly onto a private viewing deck through sliding glass doors. Here, mornings begin with coffee above the canyon, and evenings end with sunsets over the ocean. Clean architectural lines, modern comforts, and a sense of tranquility define this one-of-a-kind property. Beyond the home itself, the location is just as special—offering the rare combination of serene canyon living with easy walkability to the vibrant heart of Normal Heights. Stroll to Adams Avenue for eclectic restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and neighborhood events, all while enjoying the quiet privacy of a canyon retreat.
