Perched on a hilltop in Vista with sweeping views of the surrounding hills, this home offers a peaceful retreat full of possibility. The home’s inviting living room features a wood-burning fireplace and a striking picture window that frames the scenery beyond, creating a warm and welcoming space to gather. Step outside to a spacious back patio where you can take in sunsets and breezes, or wander through the property’s orchard of producing fruit trees—avocado, citrus, mango, fig, pear, mulberry, banana, and more. Practicality meets opportunity with a roundabout driveway offering ample parking and a huge oversized garage ideal for storage, hobbies, or creative projects. With three bedrooms and two baths providing a comfortable foundation to make your own, the primary suite and hallway offer built-in shelving for added charm and function. This is a home that invites you to bring your vision, add value with a little sweat equity, and shape it into something truly special while enjoying the unmatched lifestyle of Vista living.
