    ENTERTAINERS DELIGHT!! Single-story 1,710 sq ft home on a quiet cul-de-sac tip, set back from the main road. 1261 Helix is planted on a flat street, but the rear property line sits above a bluff with 180° unobstructed views—city lights at night, neighborhood below, and wide-open sky by day. The back yard is huge and tailor made for a good kickback, a birthday or a Superbowl party. Inside: dual-pane vinyl windows and sliding doors throughout. Tile floors in kitchen, living, and traffic areas; carpet in bedrooms. Every room has a new ceiling fan with remote. Large living room with oversized fireplace. Open kitchen features granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and direct sightlines to living and dining spaces—ideal for hosting. Dedicated laundry room. Full interior and exterior repaint completed. Outside: fully gated with rolling front gate. Wide main driveway plus separate RV driveway runs full length of the house to rear patio. Back patio is poured concrete with pergola cover. Entire front and back yards upgraded with pet-grade artificial turf—dense, durable, and low-maintenance, stays bright year-round. 6-ft wood privacy fencing encloses the full perimeter. Leased solar panels cover 100% of the current owners’ annual electric bill. Location balances seclusion with access: minutes to I-805, shopping, and daily needs in Chula Vista, yet traffic noise is minimal. Practical, updated, and positioned for views, parking, and privacy. VA approved all day. The perfect mid sized Single Family Home at a great price.
