About This Property

Full of character, thoughtfully updated, and ideally located near Sunset Drive, this unique Vista property offers the space, versatility, and charm buyers are looking for. Situated on an expansive 0.42-acre lot, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends the warmth of its 1942 construction with modern improvements and an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle.  Recent upgrades include fresh interior paint, new carpet, and new kitchen flooring. The updated kitchen features newer countertops, cabinetry, and appliances, along with a breakfast bar and adjoining dining area. Bright, welcoming living spaces and large windows fill the home with natural light, while the original architectural details preserve the character and personality that make older homes so special.  The expansive backyard is a major highlight, featuring a sparkling pool, large lawn, mature landscaping, and multiple areas for entertaining, relaxing, and play. Attractive curb appeal and a covered front porch add to the home's inviting feel.  The oversized four-car garage is ideal for a hobbyist, contractor, car enthusiast, or home-based business. Set up as a functional workshop with 220-volt power, the garage also features a custom opening designed to accommodate a boat and a separate office space with French doors leading to the pool area. With room for vehicles, equipment, projects, storage, and workspace, this is much more than a traditional garage.  The flat, usable land and abundant open space may also offer potential for an ADU, future expansion, RV parking, boats, trailers, or additional improvements. Buyers are encouraged to verify all development possibilities with the appropriate local agencies.  Conveniently located near downtown Vista, shopping, dining, schools, and freeway access, this property makes it easy to get throughout North County while still providing the space and flexibility of a much larger lot. A rare combination of location, character, outdoor living, workspace, and future potential.
