Property Description

A rare architectural offering in Vista, this thoughtfully updated single-level home blends iconic design with modern functionality. Originally a mid-century modern classic by renowned designers Cliff May and Chris Choate, the home has been enhanced with nearly 1,000 sq ft of permitted living space. Offering 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the home features high ceilings, seamless indoor-outdoor living with floor-to-ceiling windows, and industrial aesthetic finishes with concrete elements throughout. A modern rustic charm paired with warm industrial finishes creates a space that feels both modern, yet cozy. The beautifully updated kitchen showcases high-end appliances, marble countertops, a massive custom island, and built-in bench seating. Step outside to a backyard designed for effortless entertaining and outdoor living, featuring a covered outdoor kitchen and a spacious private lot with room for a pool or additional amenities. Conveniently located near top-rated schools, dining, shopping, and major highways, this is a truly distinctive property that stands apart.
