About This Home

A timeless single-level classic with mid-century riffs and Cliff May inspirations, perched atop a hill south of the 78 near the coveted Shadowridge community — without the HOA. Natural light pours through the home, while sunrise views to the east and sunset views to the west frame daily life with classic Southern California beauty. Set on over half an acre, this property offers privacy and possibility. The large, graded, easily accessible lower lot creates endless opportunity for an ADU, pool, workshop, or expanded outdoor living. Mature trees provide privacy while the grounds are rich with plumeria, roses, various citrus, and a variety of drought-tolerant native plants, succulents, and cacti, giving the home a true mini rancho feel. Inside, thoughtful upgrades blend seamlessly with the home’s original character, including fully remodeled bathrooms, all-new copper plumbing, new HVAC ductwork, fresh interior paint, a new water heater, and new carpet. Mid-century warmth combines with modern convenience, California style. Enjoy easy access to Shopping, Dining, Downtown Vista, Bressi Ranch, Breweries, and Lake San Marcos, along with quick connections to Highways 78, 15, and 5. Just 15 minutes from the beach and zoned for the highly regarded San Marcos School District, this home blends classic Vista countryside charm without sacrificing everyday convenience + with the added benefit of unincorporated San Diego County governance (often meaning more freedom, space, and flexibility).

  • SupplementRemarks: A timeless single-level classic with mid-century riffs and Cliff May inspiration, perched high on a hill south of the 78 near the coveted Shadowridge community — without HOA restrictions. This elevated setting allows natural light to fill the home throughout the day, with sunrise views to the east and sunset views to the west, offering a quintessential Southern California backdrop from morning to evening. Set on over half an acre, the property delivers a rare combination of privacy, usable land, and future potential. The expansive parcel includes a large, graded, and easily accessible lower lot, presenting endless possibilities for a future ADU, pool, workshop, garden, or expanded outdoor living (buyer to verify). Mature trees and thoughtful landscaping create a sense of seclusion, giving the property a true mini-rancho feel, while still remaining close to modern conveniences. The grounds are richly planted with plumeria, roses, and a variety of citrus trees including tangerine, Meyer lemon, blood orange, and pomelo, complemented by drought-tolerant native plants, succulents, and cacti. The landscaping reflects both beauty and sustainability, enhancing privacy while embracing the Southern California climate. Inside, the home balances original character with meaningful modern upgrades. Recent improvements include fully remodeled bathrooms, all-new copper plumbing water lines throughout, new HVAC ductwork, fresh interior paint, a new water heater, and new carpet. These updates were completed with care, preserving the home’s architectural warmth while improving function, efficiency, and comfort. The result is a residence that feels authentic and timeless, yet move-in ready. Large windows and the elevated orientation allow light to flow through the living spaces, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. The interior design reflects a relaxed California aesthetic — a nod to mid-century simplicity paired with contemporary convenience. Although addressed within the City of Vista, the property is located within the unincorporated portion of San Diego County, rather than under city jurisdiction. This distinction often allows for greater flexibility, space, and land-use freedom compared to properties governed by city regulations (buyer to verify), and further contributes to the unique appeal of this offering. Conveniently located near Target, Walmart, Trader Joe’s, restaurants, Downtown Vista, Bressi Ranch, breweries, and Lake San Marcos, the home offers both accessibility and tranquility. Commuters and weekend explorers alike will appreciate the quick connections to Highways 78, 15, and 5, along with proximity to North County’s coastal lifestyle — approximately 15 minutes to the beach. The property is also zoned within the highly regarded San Marcos School District, including San Marcos High School, adding to its long-term appeal. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-rich property that captures the charm of classic Vista countryside living, with space to grow, freedom to imagine future possibilities, and everyday conveniences close at hand.
