Property description
Private Hillside Retreat with Pool and North and Westerly Views. An exceptional opportunity to own a timeless Vista home, rich in character and offering unparalleled privacy and tranquility—secluded from the bustle, with high-quality enhancements. Included in those improvements are a beautiful luxury wide plank flooring and fresh interior paint that will generate a pristine starting point to build your ideal aesthetic! Welcome to 1238 Barbara Drive, a custom-built split-level home owned and lovingly maintained by one family and offered for the first time since 1974. Nestled on a secluded, usable half-acre lot in the scenic hills of Vista, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offers 2,279 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with sweeping city, mountain and coastline views. The home also enjoys wonderful breezes and there are no steep slopes or driveways. Inside, you’ll find a bright and open kitchen outfitted with granite counters, a breakfast bar, bay window over the sink and ample cabinetry — the perfect space for everyday cooking or entertaining. The kitchen flows into a generous dining area and cozy living room with one of two fireplaces, all illuminated by large windows that invite in natural light. The private primary suite is tucked to one side of the home, featuring serene views of the pool, city, mountains and coastline. This room offers two large closets and direct access to an oversized balcony—an ideal spot to enjoy the morning sun or unwind in the evening air. Additional comforts include double-paned windows, central air and heating, and a dedicated laundry room with washer, dryer, and plenty of space to be a craft room, mud room or more!! The oversized attached two-car garage offers plenty of storage, with space to park an additional six or more vehicles on the property. From the family room with a second fireplace, you can step outside to your own backyard oasis, where a below-ground pool is surrounded by natural greenery and privacy—perfect for summer gatherings or peaceful relaxation. Fully owned solar helps keep energy costs lower. This home is prepared for you to fall in love!
