List of improvements completed in 2011. All new plumbing and electrical. All new exterior double-pane Milgard windows and sliders. New Central heating and air to both floors with dual controls. New tankless hot water heater. Electrical panel upgraded to 200 amps--voltage 120/240. All new interior doors. Third bathroom added. New laundry room with storage. New exterior stucco. New insulation and new interior walls in main area upstairs. New tile and carpet in kitchen, living room and stairs. Downstairs new vinyl flooring with wood and tile look. Kitchenette added. Granite counters in bathrooms and kitchen. New baseboards throughout house. New fiberglass front door upstairs and back door entrance to granny flat. Deck ready attachments in place along kitchen wall with gas line available for barbecue. All new custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Bathtub and original oak floors upstairs is about all that is left of the previous interior. The tax records state "2 car garage" but the garage is in need of replacement. It is detached from the home and is more like a large shed. Plenty of room on this property to add another garage or out building. There is a concrete pad on the lower part of the property that was permitted for a shed that was never built. There is electrical conduit but no wires to the site. Water to the site as well. Seller has all permits, plans and receipts for all work completed at the home. Work was done by a local licensed contractor. Corals can stay or be removed at buyer's request. This home is one of kind in a country setting but still close to the city. You have to see to appreciate.

Local insights from Redfin agents
One trend I’m seeing is more buyers exploring Vista after living closer to the coast. Better affordability and more space are part of it, but I think the weather is a big draw too. Vista gets abundant sunshine, the marine layer often burns off...
