Nestled in the desirable Gatewood Hills neighborhood of Rancho Bernardo, this exceptional home sits on a sprawling, useable 0.8-acre lot and combines high-end sustainability upgrades with sweeping westerly views and vistas. A fully owned 5.28 kW solar system (installed 2017, NEM 2.0) pairs with a 5-ton dual heat pump and Ecobee Smart Thermostat for efficient, whole-home comfort, while solar-powered attic fans and a whole-house air purification system enhance energy performance and indoor air quality. Oversized 2-car+ garage. Remodeled kitchen with soft-close Cherrywood with maple stain cabinetry, SS appliances, exquisite views out the windows, and Pergo flooring in the living/dining room. A Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor adds an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout: Low-E dual-pane Anderson Fibrex-frame windows fill the home with natural light, Solatube skylights brighten the laundry room and interior bath, and warm flooring graces the living and family rooms for year-round comfort. The roof above the garage where the solar is set was lifted and relayed in 2017. The remainder of the roof was lifted and relayed in Jan 2026. A brand-new 2,000 sq. ft. paver driveway (2025) rounds out the list of major improvements — offering true turnkey peace of mind. Room for RV/boat parking set to the R of the home (when facing the garage). Garage is actually the size of a 3-car garage, but currently is set up with a 2-car garage door. Lastly, the drought tolerant landscaping blooms in the wintertime and creates a warm, colorful vista. Set on nearly a full acre (0.8 acres) of usable land, this property offers space, privacy, and unforgettable sunset views, all just minutes from Rancho Bernardo's premier shopping, dining, and entertainment. Zoned for the award-winning Poway Unified School District, this home delivers the ideal blend of luxury, location, and lifestyle. Come see this amazing home today, before it's too late!
