This beautifully appointed residence is truly a work of art. Recently renovated by a talented pair of artists, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers approximately 1,553 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space a rare and distinctive gem unlike anything else in Vista. Upstairs, the private primary retreat feels like a sanctuary, complete with its own kitchenette, ensuite bath, and balcony an ideal escape to enjoy peaceful mornings or sunrise views. The main level exudes warmth and old-world charm with rich wood trim, composite hardwood flooring, and a romantic stone fireplace. The kitchen is both elegant and functional, featuring black soapstone countertops, high-quality hardwood cabinetry, a tiled backsplash, tiled floors, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. A greenhouse window above the large dark stone sink provides the perfect space for fresh herbs or flowers. Two additional bedrooms are located downstairs. One includes a kitchenette and sliding doors that open to the backyard, offering flexibility for guests or extended living. The second features a Murphy bed (included). The shared bath is a work of art, showcasing a custom tile inlay of bamboo trees in the shower and a striking river rock backsplash behind an art glass vessel sink. A mudroom with a half bath and utility sink sits conveniently just off the kitchen. Every detail reflects the care of an experienced builder crafting a personal residence from timed bathroom fans and automatic closet lighting to soft-close drawers and built-in organizers. Artistic accents such as the grand stairwell chandelier and wood paneling further elevate the homes character. Step outside and experience quintessential San Diego indoor-outdoor living. The 77-square-foot covered patio creates an inviting outdoor oasis, complete with banquet seating and an outdoor kitchen area with space for a standard barbecue. A picturesque outdoor shower and terraced landscaping create multiple outdoor rooms throughout the yard. The hot tub is tucked beneath a covered patio for private relaxation, while the sparkling pool crowns the terraced hillside, accompanied by a fire pit, observation deck, gardens, and abundant fruit trees. Multiple outbuildings add exceptional versatility, including an artists studio, a wood shop (converted from a one-car garage), storage sheds, and a detached studio with rental potential. The detached studio features a faux fireplace electric heater, window AC unit, a generously sized bathroom with shower, and a kitchenette with cooktop, microwave, and refrigerator. The front yard is a gardeners paradise, highlighted by a mature shade tree, an easy-care turf lawn, and a charming bridge leading to a native plant garden filled with bottlebrush, bamboo, and orange bell flowers. Raised garden beds along the side yard produce strawberries, corn, green beans, herbs, and tomatoes, while citrus (orange and lemon) and olive trees thrive near the pool. This is more than a home it is a thoughtfully designed, artfully crafted retreat that embraces creativity, functionality, and the very best of San Diego living.
