Country living with exceptional interior space, nature views, a massive 4 car garage, and a half acre (21,780 sq ft) lot all just 12 minutes from Padres games in downtown San Diego. This well-maintained home features numerous completed updates within the last 10 years including a Tesla battery and owned solar system, new roof, dual-pane windows, recently painted exterior, water softener, and more. With several upgrades completed, the home is move-in ready while still offering the opportunity to add your own personal touches. Set above protected open space, the property feels worlds away from the city despite its central location. A private driveway leads to the oversized four car garage, complete with an office, full bath, and laundry room. Whether you need room for vehicles and toys, or envision an ADU, home gym, art studio, or home business, the large space offers endless possibilities. Above the garage is 1,500 sq ft of living space featuring an open concept kitchen, dining area, and living room that extend out to a covered Trex deck. Massive skylights, French doors, and upgraded windows flood the home with natural light while framing peaceful canyon views and welcoming cool breezes. The primary bedroom features a large skylight, ensuite bathroom, and French doors opening to the backyard patio. The backyard has been expanded, leveled, and reinforced with retaining walls and a drainage system, creating an outdoor space that's ready to enjoy. Beyond the improved backyard, the remaining hillside offers a blank canvas for future terraced gardens, landscaping, an elevated view deck, or potentially a detached ADU. Solidly built, meticulously maintained, and surrounded by nature, this unique property combines space and privacy in a setting that's rarely available so close to the city center, Balboa Park, the bay, coastline, and everything else San Diego has to offer.
