Property Description
First time on the market since 1966, this Mt. Helix property is on nearly an acre of land, fenced and gated for privacy. Built in 1936 by Abbott & Huston, the 2,023 sq ft. home offers 3 bedrooms—each with walk-in closets—2 baths, and a full basement with separate entrance and bath which could be used as a hobby area, playroom, or even a rental or in-law suite. The remodeled primary bath features marble counters, dual-head walk-in shower, and soaking tub. An updated kitchen with skylight, solid wood cabinetry, and eat-in island, flows into the great room with vaulted ceilings, rock fireplace, a view deck, and access to a enclosed patio. The property’s award worthy mature landscape is a private garden paradise featuring numerous varieties of fruit trees, an amazing “rain tree”, majestic staghorn ferns, and unique specimen trees such as the giant rubber tree, loved by both nesting hawks and flocks of wild parrots. Along with a tea house, custom potting area, barn/tack room, and detached 2-car garage, the property has ample parking to accommodate RVs, trailers, and toys. Recent upgrades—new roof, owned solar with battery backup, upgraded electrical, refinished oak flooring, new sewer line, and updated fixtures—add peace of mind. Zoned for animals, the property embraces Vista de la Cruz’s agrarian lifestyle.
