About 1166 Merritt Drive

Perched atop more than half an acre at the crossroads of Mt. Helix, Rancho San Diego, and Granite Hills, this breathtaking view home delivers panoramic city vistas that simply must be seen to be believed. Wake up every morning to sweeping, expansive views that stretch across the city a backdrop that never gets old. Thoughtfully updated with new carpet, fresh paint, and a brand-new deck, this home is nearly move-in ready and waiting for your personal touch. While public records reflect 2 bedrooms, the flexible floor plan presents exciting potential for 2 to 3 additional bedrooms plus bonus rooms ideal for multi-generational living, a home office, or the creative build-out you've always envisioned. Arrive home to a generous front area offering abundant parking for guests. Step outside to your own private orchard, anchored by a magnificent, mature avocado tree that promises guacamole season all year long. The beautifully tiered backyard offers endless possibilities whether you envision a serene garden retreat, an entertainer's paradise, or both. This is more than a home it's a lifestyle. Opportunity, views, and space like this rarely come together. Don't miss your chance to make it yours.
