Perfect for a new homeowner or developer seeking to build upward and maximize the property's stunning panoramic vistas. Perched atop prestigious Marquez Knolls on a quiet cul-de-sac in a highly regarded neighborhood, this fully renovated (August 2023) mountaintop retreat sits on a generous 11,687 SF lot and offers rare privacy, security, and ocean and mountain sunset views. The pool and spa have been recently upgraded with a pebble-finish replaster, refreshed tile, LED color lighting, an enhanced filtration system, redesigned skimmer box, and updated drains, further elevating the home's resort-style appeal. This home, along with others on the cul-de-sac, was not structurally damaged by the January 2025 wildfires.
