About this home
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Shadow Hills, this fully refreshed 3-bed, 2-bath retreat sits on a private acre with sweeping valley views and a citrus grove of grapefruit, orange, and lemon trees. Inside you’ll find 2,198 sq ft of fresh new updates: new paint, flooring, baths, Samsung Bespoke appliances, and a statement kitchen island creates a move-in-ready backdrop for entertaining. The spacious living and dining rooms, anchored by a fireplace, flow to an expansive patio, pool, and spa with new equipment and a gas heater. The primary suite offers pool and mountain views, an en-suite bath, and a brand-new dressing room. Owned solar, a laundry room with half bath, a 2-car garage, RV parking, and a versatile outbuilding for a workshop or storage round out the package. All of it sits minutes from shopping and the freeway, in the peaceful hills of Mt. Helix.

Casa de Oro-Mount Helix, located between La Mesa and El Cajon, is a hillside and suburban Casa de Oro-Mount Helix neighborhood with winding ridge roads and wide valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Campo Road and Avocado Boulevard corridor, where taquerias, independent markets, and service storefronts line the drive. Mount Helix Park and its open-air amphitheater sets a civic backdrop for sunset walks and community gatherings. Residential streets mix mid-century ranch homes, view-oriented custom builds, and tucked-away cul-de-sacs under mature trees. Daily life orbits around outdoor space, with quick transitions from canyon trails to local shopping pockets. The terrain shapes a quiet, elevated feel, with scenic overlooks appearing between stone walls and palms.
