Sweeping panoramic views set the stage for this single-level mid-century modern residence, perched on one of the highest streets in Del Cerro Highlands with sightlines spanning the mountains, downtown skyline, bay, Coronado Islands, and the Pacific Ocean beyond. By day, the San Diego landscape stretches for miles; by night, the city lights create a dramatic backdrop. Offering over 3,000 square feet, the flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms plus a den or optional fifth bedroom and three and one-half bathrooms. Signature mid-century elements, such as clean lines, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with floating hearth, warm wood paneling, vaulted ceilings, and walls of glass, combine to create a timeless architectural foundation. Fresh interior paint and new carpet provide a blank canvas, while the generous layout and expansive view deck open the door to endless design possibilities. The single-level footprint enhances livability, and the elevated positioning maximizes both privacy and perspective. A rare opportunity to renovate, restore, or reimagine a spectacular view home in one of Del Cerro's most sought-after enclaves.
