The primary suite boasts an original brick accent wall and a walk-in closet. Step outside to lush, fully irrigated, exotic succulent landscaping, stately palms, and a rich variety of Vista's renown citrus and avocado trees. A fronting green grass yard soothes the vistas while an adjacent sheltered terrace with its gas fireplace and outdoor shower, create this very private estate. The .78-acre lot is fully enclosed with a newer fence and new automated gate with remote and keypad. Renovated in 2022, this sophisticated home blends timeless midcentury design with modern convenience, offering a perfect blend of style and functionality.
