Tucked away at the end of a serene cul-de-sac in Mission Hills, this single-level mid-century modern home offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special in one of San Diego’s most desirable neighborhoods. Backing directly to a lush park with no neighbor ever behind you, the setting is private, quiet, and rich with potential. The existing residence is a true blank canvas—ideal for those looking to restore its timeless architectural character or build a custom masterpiece. With its open layout, clean lines, and generously sized lot, the possibilities are endless. And perhaps the most compelling opportunity of all: the potential to add a second story and unlock breathtaking panoramic views of Downtown San Diego, the harbor, and the Pacific Ocean. Perfectly situated in the heart of the city, this location offers unmatched convenience with a relaxed, residential feel. Reach the airport in just 5 minutes, spend your mornings on the sand with a 10-minute drive to the beach, and enjoy effortless access to the vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural scenes of Mission Hills, Little Italy, and Hillcrest. Opportunities like this don’t come around often—this is your chance to design and build the lifestyle home you’ve always imagined in a location that puts the very best of San Diego right at your fingertips.
