About This Home
SELLER IS MOTIVATED! Welcome to your private Mt. Helix retreat where resort-style living meets everyday luxury on a beautifully usable 0.95-acre lot. Designed for both grand entertaining and relaxed living, this one-of-a-kind property offers space, privacy, and unforgettable indoor-outdoor appeal. The grounds are designed for exceptional entertaining, featuring a tropical pool oasis, outdoor kitchen, al fresco dining area, fire pit, TV, BBQ, smoker, and a beautifully tiered yard with mature fruit trees and grapevines. Inside, the open-concept design blends warmth and sophistication, anchored by a chef’s kitchen, built-in wine bar, fireplace, plus an expansive primary suite complete with a sitting area, spa-inspired bath, and dual closets. Tastefully updated and showered with natural light from the many skylights and oversized picture windows, the main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, while the attached guest house adds 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom—ideal for multigenerational living, extended stays, or a private home office setup. Single story homes of this scale and character rarely become available in Mt. Helix. Private and peaceful yet close to everything, this exceptional property delivers the perfect blend of retreat, functionality, and unforgettable style. Just minutes from the Village of La Mesa—with its restaurants, boutiques, and Friday Farmer’s Market—and only a short 20 minute drive to downtown San Diego, Petco Park, beaches, theatres, and museums, it offers the ideal balance of serenity and convenience.
