A classic single-level traditional style home on over an acre of flat, usable land in Mt. Helix's Horizon Hills neighborhood. The front porch sets the tone, shaded by established trees and made for slow mornings and evening visits with neighbors. Inside are 4 bedrooms plus a bonus room ready to become a 5th bedroom, home office, or TV room. Out back, the property opens up. Gather on the patio for dinners outdoors, cool off in the pool, challenge friends to a game of bocce ball, and grow your own vegetables and flowers in the garden beds. There's plenty of room to park an RV or boat, plus space to explore a future building a ADU. Flat, usable acreage like this is rare in Horizon Hills, and it gives you room to live, play, and grow. Let's take a look. Minutes to Hwy 8 or 94, 20 minutes to downtown, and close to Mt Helix and Rancho San Diego or La Mesa Shopping.
