Tucked beside the peaceful Shepherd Canyon, this detached Villa Antigua residence offers the rare feeling of living within nature—without giving up central San Diego access. Set on a large corner lot and surrounded by mature trees and canyon views, the home gives the felling of living in a tree house—elevated and quietly removed from the pace of the city. A waterfall and pond at the entry set a peaceful tone, while the secluded backyard ifsframed by parkland. Hiking and walking trails are just moments away, making it easy to step directly into nature, yet freeway access remains effortless for commuting in any direction. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded to support comfortable, modern living. The upgraded kitchen features granite countertops, LG appliances, pantry, and a breakfast nook with bright windows looking out on the walled-in front yard. The primary suite is its own sanctuary, complete with a fireplace, walk-in closet, private view balcony, and a remodeled bath with dual sinks and vanity with granite counters. Both the primary bedroom and the spacious secondary room enjoy private balconies, further reinforcing the indoor-outdoor connection. The oversized second bedroom has been used as a TV room and offers exceptional flexibility for work-from-home, guests, or multi-purpose living. Behind the scenes, the home delivers peace of mind as well. Recent upgrades include all new dual-pane windows, an owned Enphase solar system, new electric central heating & air with a high-efficiency heat pump, newer water heater, and updated fencing to preserve privacy throughout. Energy costs are minimized while comfort is maximized. This is a home for buyers who value nature, privacy, and practicality—who want to feel tucked away in something special, yet remain close to everything that matters.
