About this home

Captivating coastal single-level oasis in the highly coveted, no-HOA enclave of Fire Mountain! Showcasing absolute pride of ownership, this masterfully remodeled estate delivers an unforgettable first impression via a custom architectural wooden bridge walkway suspended over a pristine, professionally engineered entryway koi and turtle pond, powered by a multi-stage external filtration loop and inline UV sterilizer. Inside, the open-concept footprint features soaring vaulted ceilings, rich tile flooring, and an expansive chef’s kitchen equipped with custom shaker cabinetry, premium stone countertops, an integrated KitchenAid double wall-oven, a built-in French-door refrigerator, and a professional-grade commercial spring-neck garden window sink. The seamless flow extends into a massive sun-drenched living space anchored by a premium bay viewing window, transitioning to an outdoor entertainer's dream backyard patio complete with a built-in BBQ kitchen island. Mechanics are elite and fully owned, highlighted by central air-conditioning powered by a 100% fully paid-for rooftop solar array. Extended utility options are completely unmatched for the neighborhood, boasting a rare 3-car garage alongside a secure, dedicated gated RV parking pad equipped with active electrical, water, and sewer cleanout hookups. Situated just minutes from North County’s premier beaches, dining, and coastal corridors, this architectural custom compound represents the pinnacle of turn-key Southern California living!

About Fire

Mountain

Fire Mountain, located between Interstate 5 and El Camino Real, is a hillside and residential Oceanside neighborhood with ocean-view pockets and mid-century streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Coast Highway/California Street corridor, where surf shops, coffee counters, and casual eateries set a salt-air, walk-and-browse rhythm. Ranch homes and 1960s builds mix with newer remodels along curving roads that climb toward the ridgeline. Buccaneer Beach Park and the Oceanside Harbor frame daily routines with sand, trails, and marina views. The Oceanside Museum of Art and Sunshine Brooks Theatre add a cultural throughline beyond the shoreline. Fire Mountain Park and nearby bike routes keep the pace outdoorsy without feeling resort-like.
