About This Home
As of February 2026A 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).
