About This Home
Built in 1971, this beautifully updated home is a seamless fusion of mid-century modern lines and the casual elegance of a California Ranch. Nestled in the hills of Mt. Helix, it offers sweeping panoramic views—from Cowles Mountain to the Pacific Ocean. Step inside to a light-filled living room with soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive picture windows that frame the breathtaking scenery. A striking fireplace adds warmth and character, perfect for cozy evenings. The adjacent formal dining room opens directly to the backyard, ideal for entertaining or indoor-outdoor gatherings. The kitchen flows into a comfortable family room with west-facing views and access to a side deck—perfect for enjoying cool breezes and unforgettable sunsets. The main level features three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering comfort and flexibility for everyday living. A thoughtfully designed primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with large windows showcasing the view, a private deck with awning, and a peaceful sitting area—perfect for reading or unwinding at the end of the day. Additional highlights include dual-pane windows, large walk-in closets, fresh interior paint and lighting, and a generous wrap-around deck for year-round enjoyment. The private backyard oasis features a sparkling inground pool, mature fruit trees—including blood orange, tangerine, pink grapefruit, lime, orange, and apple—and easy-care landscaping. A tranquil entry fountain, crafted over 50 years ago by Galen from a copper cannery bucket in Modesto, adds a unique and welcoming touch. SEE Supplement Set on just under half an acre, this property is an entertainer’s dream with room to relax, play, and host. All this with quick access to SR-94, SR-125, and I-8—putting downtown San Diego, La Mesa Village, and the coast within easy reach. Enjoy the best of East County living in one of its most sought-after neighborhoods.
