Description

Home temporarily withdrawn from the market while it undergoes remodeling. An active listing agreement is in place. Tucked into one of Torrey Hills' most coveted streets, this rare offering captures the essence of Southern California living—expansive, sunlit interiors; a backyard that rivals a private resort; and sweeping canyon views that transform daily life into something extraordinary. Set on an oversized 12,910 square-foot lot backing to the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, this home offers privacy, scale, and serenity rarely found in Carmel Valley. Step inside nearly 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, where five bedrooms and four bathrooms are arranged to maximize flexibility, function, and comfort. From the moment you enter, natural light pours through large picture windows, illuminating soaring ceilings and creating a sense of openness throughout the main level. The layout is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with an open-concept flow that connects formal living and dining areas to the heart of the home—a spacious kitchen and family room that overlook the backyard and canyon beyond. The kitchen features a generous eat-in nook and opens effortlessly to the living area—ideal for everything from morning coffee rituals to lively weekend gatherings. With sightlines that stretch to the backyard and canyon beyond, it’s a space designed for connection, comfort, and conversation. On the first level, a private-use suite—complete with its own full bathroom, living area, and private exterior entrance—offers incredible versatility. Whether you're hosting out-of-town guests, accommodating multi-generational needs, or working from home in peace, this space provides the flexibility modern households demand. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat. Unwind in the dedicated sitting area, take in peaceful canyon views from oversized windows, and enjoy the large walk-in closet that easily fits a full wardrobe—and then some. The en-suite bathroom is well-sized and functional, ready for future upgrades or simply to enjoy as is. Three additional upstairs bedrooms offer room to grow, create, or unwind, all thoughtfully arranged for maximum privacy. But the real showstopper? The backyard. Step outside to a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday. A custom-designed pool with a rock waterfall, built-in water slide, and elevated spa sits at the center of the outdoor experience, framed by mature palms, colorful landscaping, and uninterrupted canyon views. It’s the perfect space for relaxing solo, hosting unforgettable gatherings, or simply watching the sunset wash over the preserve. With no direct rear neighbors and the home’s position along the canyon rim, the sense of peace and privacy is palpable. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, abundant storage, and mature landscaping that adds both beauty and privacy to the entire property. And while the home feels like a tucked-away retreat, it's located just minutes from everything that makes Torrey Hills and Carmel Valley so desirable—award-winning schools in the Del Mar Union and San Dieguito Union High School Districts, top-tier shopping and dining at One Paseo and Del Mar Highlands, and easy access to the 5, 805, and 56 freeways for commuting in any direction. Coastal access, hiking trails, and Torrey Pines State Reserve are all just a short drive away. This is a home that offers more than just square footage—it offers a lifestyle. The scale of the lot, the connection to nature, and the potential for future personalization make it a standout in today’s market. If you’ve been waiting for the kind of home that rarely comes to market, this may be your moment. Seller will entertain seller financing for remodeling.
