Detached little California style indoor/outdoor house with your own private gated outdoor spaces/deck on Mt Helix situated on two acres of land.
Think of this one of a kind detached cottage as an island of tranquility in the chaos of greater San Diego.
You can be in the buzz of urban San Diego whenever you want, but...you get to come home, rest, recover and recharge in a bubble of peace vs being stuck with the urban activity when you don't want to be.
At A Glance:
* You can live in San Diego
* Have easy access to the city and beach parts
* Without the chaos, privacy, parking, crowing & noise issues of the beach or metro areas
* Complete privacy & silence IN BEAUTIFUL NATURE
* DUAL outdoor soaking tubs
If you love San Diego, but are done with the noise and crowding, this is for you.
