    What's special

    Mid-century soul and endless potential on over half an acre in Vista. A true California mid-century modern ranch tucked into one of Vista’s most peaceful and established neighborhoods, Avocado Heights. This home blends iconic architectural charm with thoughtful upgrades and the freedom to live your dream lifestyle. Think Palm Springs vibes with the world’s best climate. Clean lines, mature trees, a quintessential kidney shaped pool, and breeze block details set the tone. Inside, natural light pours through updated windows and sliders, highlighting a layout that’s open where it counts and cozy where it matters. Multiple living areas offer room to gather, work, workout or unwind, including a formal living room, dining room, a spacious eat-in kitchen, and a family room with pool views and an original semicircle brick fireplace. The flow is effortless, with a timeless floor plan that just feels right. The large kitchen also features a fireplace and looks out over the pool, perfectly positioned for hosting or enjoying everyday life. There’s abundant storage throughout, plus a rare basement with its own separate entrance and an unfinished three quarter bath. It’s ideal for a guest suite, gym, creative studio, or rental. With multiple separate entrances already in place, the property offers strong potential for an ADU and JADU, making it a great setup for extended family, income, or flexible living. Major upgrades include a new roof, newer HVAC and water heater, and a refinished pool. A full pre-inspection has been completed with repairs already handled. There’s also potential for a paid or transferable solar system to boost efficiency and long term value. Out back, the flat and usable fenced yard offers panoramic views and a fully plumbed concrete patio with gas, water, and electric in place. It’s ready for your dream outdoor kitchen or entertainer’s bar. The circular driveway, gated access to the detached two car garage, and an easement for a second rear driveway provide even more flexibility for RV parking, additional units, or a possible lot split (determined by buyer). On public sewer with no HOA. This is the kind of property that rarely comes available...rich in character, thoughtfully improved, and full of opportunity. A true mid-century gem with lasting appeal and prime land in a location that makes it all possible.
