2051 Vista Hermosa Way
El Cajon, CA 92019

This single story home is nestled on a very private one acre parcel in the Granite Hills-Vista Grande neighborhood. Vista Hermosa Way is a private cul-de-sac lane that services a dozen or so custom homes. Leaving the private lane onto the wide concrete driveway takes you through a wrought iron security gate. Beyond this gate, the residence is perched on a ridge setting that offers 180 degree southwesterly views and overlooks the 125 vine Zinfandel vineyard. Room exists for an additional 75 vines. Wine produced from these vines was recently awarded the prestigious Gold Award from the Orange County Wine Society! The entry setting to this elegant and comfortable home is pleasing and inviting. Entering the formal entry reveals hardwood flooring that flows throughout the house to the kitchen, to the family room, down the hallway and into the bedrooms and laundry room. Copious amounts of natural light through the many windows brighten the rooms in this home. The spacious kitchen features high end cabinetry and granite countertops, an island with bar seating and a built in wine fridge and a microwave drawer. The kitchen is open to the dining area and the family room in the Great Room fashion. The comfy family room features a wall with built in book shelves, wine racks and an entertainment center. The sturdy stone fireplace with gas insert and reclaimed wood mantle separates the entertainment wall from the array of picture windows with their vignettes of near and distant views. Crown molding attests to the attention to detail evident throughout this one-of-a-kind home. The Master Suite is located at the end of a short hall opposite the Great Room area. The luxurious Master Suite is private and enjoys a newly renovated bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub, a roomy shower and a spacious closet that may be accessed from the bath or the bedroom. French doors open onto a balcony overlooking the vineyard to the near and distant hills. The secondary bedrooms are comfortable and no less elegant. The secondary bath is newly renovated and does not disappoint with its attention to detail. The laundry room is no small closet pretending to be a laundry room. It offers adequate space for full size appliances and features hardwood floors, cabinets and drawers, a counter top and wall mounted ironing board and a window above the counter top. Lighting throughout the house has been updated to include recessed lighting. The interior walls have been freshly painted a neutral color and add to the light and open feel to this home. A bank of roof mounted solar panels conspires to keep electricity bills to a minimum. A 300 sq. ft. bonus room with its own heating and cooling system is located below the living level. It is a perfect space for a man cave, office, workout room, game room, wine tasting room-your call! The outside living space is amazing! The covered multi-level deck (Trex) is located on the view side just a bit elevated above the pool and spa. Rustic gates, stone-faced privacy wall, BBQ island and vine covered wall create a private, cozy area ideal for outdoor meals or gatherings with family and friends. The decks enjoy west facing views. There are times, however, when the afternoon sun can be a bit intrusive. No worries, a large California Live Oak offers shade to a portion of the deck. If thats not sufficient, electrically controlled weather resistant shades are concealed along the beam above the porch railing to remedy the situation. The ultra-private pool and spa are just a few steps away from the deck. Mere steps lie between enjoying the comfort and warmth of the house to lolling on the deck to plunging in the pool or relaxing in the spa. Add a few more steps and you are walking among the rows of grape vines or picking fruit from the avocado and citrus trees when in season. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees to include eucalyptus, oak, jacaranda trees and a rose garden. The .93 acre parcel is fenced.
