Asking Price: $1,699,500

Rate single story! 4 bedrooms. Gorgeous hilltop view! 36 years in the same family. Priced below appraisal (was in escrow but 2 buyers could not perform). With one Fed rate cut already in September, and two more forecast this year (Oct & Dec), it's a great time to buy before "selling season" (i.e., the schools-out spring/summer period). Plus, due to rate cuts, the National Realtor Association forecasts 2026 prices to rise 4%, enabling 5.5 million more buyers and spurring refinancing opportunities. This home has a 180-degree hilltop view of La Costa, adjoins protected space, yet doesn't require CA Fair Plan fire insurance. The HOA is a low $74 per month with pools, pickleball, and tennis courts. The builder clearly selected the best lot for this model home/sales office. It has been proudly owned by a Purple Heart awarded POW/WWII B-29 pilot and his wife, who cherished sitting on the back patio and taking in the view and ocean breeze. This house has over a 17% larger lot than the same model two doors down, which sold for $1,750,000 in March and which does not have the open-fence panoramic view and added windows in the master bedroom. Research shows that in San Diego, views of preserved open space are capitalized into home values; open-space view premiums are commonly in the high single digits to low-teens, with exceptional panoramas higher. Recent research on scenic views reports 831% differentials for top-quality vistas versus otherwise similar non-view homes (sources: Trust for Public Land San Diego Report; San Diego Master Plan Property Value & Open Space report).
