San Diego, California 92103
This Spacious Mission Hills Residence is a Strong Value Opportunity, listed at $1,900,000—positioned well below the $2,096,488 Fair Market Value by 9%. This valuation gap offers $196,488 in Instant Equity for buyers. While maintaining a Condition Rating of 4, the 3,358 sqft interior features vaulted ceilings and panoramic bay and city views, complemented by a rare cascading waterfall sanctuary. With access to top-rated schools including McKinley Elementary (9/10), this property offers significant upside through cosmetic modernization. It is an ideal acquisition for Owner-Occupants looking to build wealth or Value-Add Buyers seeking a prestigious San Diego asset.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980 and described as 'carefully preserved,' the home is well-maintained but features original architectural styles and finishes that are now over 40 years old. While functional and spacious with impressive vaulted ceilings, the kitchen and bathrooms appear dated, and the property lacks the modern renovations required for a higher rating.
Elementary School: McKinley Elementary School (9/10).

With only three bedrooms across 3,358 square feet, the floor plan may feel inefficient for larger families or those requiring more dedicated guest and office spaces.
Tucked into one of Mission Hills’ most desirable pockets, this spacious and well-maintained residence offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and setting—just minutes from the best of San Diego while feeling quietly removed from the pace of the city. The home has been thoughtfully cared for over the years and retains its architectural integrity, with generous living areas, vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows that bring in natural light throughout the day. The floor plan was designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, with seamless transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces that create an easy, natural flow. The kitchen and main living areas open toward the backyard, where the true centerpiece of the property reveals itself. A magnificent cascading waterfall creates a serene, almost resort-like atmosphere rarely found in such a central location. The sound of water, mature landscaping, and surrounding canyon environment create a sense of calm and privacy that makes the outdoor space feel like an extension of the home itself. Each bedroom is well proportioned, and the primary suite offers generous space, natural light, and a connection to the surrounding greenery, reinforcing the peaceful character of the property. While many homes in the area have been heavily remodeled, this residence stands apart as a home that has been carefully preserved and maintained, offering a sense of authenticity and quality that is increasingly hard to find. It provides a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to enjoy it exactly as it is, or thoughtfully personalize over time. Located in an A+ Mission Hills location, the property offers convenient access to the airport, downtown, beaches, and award-winning dining, while remaining tucked into a neighborhood known for its beauty, architecture, and enduring appeal. Homes with this kind of setting, scale, and presence rarely come available. This is a property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the atmosphere, the privacy, and the unmistakable sense of place.
