Featuring a whole-house water purification system, this home offers clean, filtered water from every tap including showers bringing an added level of wellness and comfort to everyday living. Welcome to an extraordinary opportunity in one of San Diego’s most sought after neighborhoods Merritt Drive, tucked away in the scenic foothills of Mount Helix. This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully enhanced single-level home is a shining example of California living at its finest. With four generously sized bedrooms and two tastefully updated bathrooms, this property combines architectural charm, spacious comfort, and natural beauty in one unforgettable setting. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the gracefully landscaped circular driveway, designed not only for convenience but to offer a truly grand entrance every time. Step inside and you’re immediately welcomed into an open, light-filled layout where clean lines, soaring ceilings, and stunning faceted windows frame your surroundings like living art. Natural light floods every corner of the home, blurring the line between inside and out, and drawing your attention to the serene views that stretch across the western horizon. At the heart of the home is the striking living room a true showstopper. With panoramic views of the private backyard oasis, this space invites both quiet reflection and vibrant entertaining. Watch the sun dip below the horizon from the comfort of your sofa, or gaze at the stars as evening sets in. Outside, you’ll find a lush and tranquil retreat featuring mature landscaping, a peaceful water feature, and a thoughtfully designed garden cantina that’s perfect for weekend brunches, wine nights, or quiet afternoons with a book. The backyard is fully secured, offering peace of mind while enjoying your private outdoor sanctuary. Inside, each room has been crafted for both beauty and function. The bedrooms offer space to rest and recharge, while the living areas invite conversation, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re gathering around the dining table with family or simply enjoying the soft breeze through the open windows, every moment here feels like a page from a California dream. Beyond the home itself lies a neighborhood rich in character and history. Merritt Drive is known for its peaceful atmosphere, meandering roads, and stunning views of the Mount Helix landscape. Homes here are rarely available, and this particular property presents a rare chance to own a pristine example of mid-century design, with potential eligibility for historic designation an added distinction that could offer long-term benefits. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this remarkable residence. The best of Southern California living awaits on Merritt Drive.
