About this home

Perched on an elevated premium view lot within the exclusive gated community of Ranchos Vistamonte, this exceptional Tuscan-inspired residence offers a private resort lifestyle with sweeping 180-degree views of the San Pasqual Valley. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, the home features walnut hardwood floors, designer carpeting, custom interior and exterior paint, wood shutters and shades, upgraded brushed-bronze fixtures, a custom staircase and distinctive custom fireplaces. The dramatic entry opens to a soaring foyer, private office or optional fifth bedroom, powder room and elegant formal living room.

Designed for entertaining, the spacious kitchen features rich mocha cabinetry, stone countertops with a full backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, upgraded hardware, pendant lighting and an oversized center island overlooking the family room. A built-in media center, second fireplace and French doors create a seamless connection to the courtyard and outdoor living areas. The backyard is a true entertainer's retreat, complete with a pool and spa, built-in barbecue, fire-pit area, covered California patio, two remote-controlled awnings and thoughtfully enhanced landscaping with custom pavers, decorative rock and mature plantings-all framed by spectacular valley and mountain views. Cool wildlife nearby such as deer, hawks, birds and more. A downstairs bedroom and full bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, a generous loft joins two secondary bedrooms with a shared bath. The expansive primary suite includes a private retreat, dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub, stone walk-in shower and dual vanities. French doors open to a covered outdoor room where the panoramic views take center stage.
