Wake up to the canyon. From the primary bedroom, your first look of the day is open hillside, with the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve just beyond your back fence. Grab your coffee and step out under the pergola, where the gentle sound of a waterfall spilling into the fish pond sets the pace for the day. Lace up, and miles of trails are practically at your doorstep. Back inside, the view follows you. The window over the kitchen sink looks straight out over the canyon, so even weeknight dinners on the gas range come with a backdrop. The north-facing yard brings soft, even light all day and keeps the patio comfortable on warm afternoons. On cool evenings, the fireplace pulls everyone into the living room. On warm ones, the dining area opens right onto the patio for long dinners outside. Tucked into Valley Crest in north Mira Mesa, this is the rare townhome with a private yard you’ll actually use. Weekends bring the solar-heated pool, pickleball and basketball courts, and pocket parks, all for HOA dues of just $158/month. Leased solar helps keep energy bills in check, the roof was replaced in 2020, and there’s an attached two-car garage, with major employers and the I-15 close by.
