Overview

Tucked away in a private, elevated setting in Vista, 1228 Tower Drive invites you to slow down, breathe in the ocean-kissed breezes, and enjoy sweeping panoramic views from your own spacious retreat. This split-level, 5-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on a large, usable lot that feels like your own secluded haven—without HOA fees or Mello Roos taxes. Step into the main living area and you’re greeted by an inviting fireplace that anchors the room, perfect for cool evenings and cozy gatherings. Sunlight pours through the windows, warming the brand-new flooring on the upper level and drawing your eye out to the vistas beyond. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow together comfortably, offering room to entertain while still feeling relaxed and homey. The split-level design creates a natural separation of space. Upstairs, bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, enhanced by the newly installed heating system that keeps the home comfortable year-round. Windows frame the distant hills and treetops, making every morning feel like a fresh start. On the lower level, a large bonus room expands your possibilities: transform it into a media room, playroom, home gym, art studio, or multi-generational living space. In addition, a portion of the garage has been converted into an extra bedroom and bathroom (permit status unknown), offering even more flexibility for guests, extended family, or a home office with its own sense of separation. Outside, the generous lot unfolds around you—usable, open, and full of potential. Imagine gardens, play areas, outdoor dining, or a future pool, all set against scenic views and gentle breezes that drift through in the afternoons. The property’s tucked-away location enhances its sense of peace and privacy, while still providing convenient access to Vista’s shops, restaurants, schools, and coastal amenities. 1228 Tower Drive is a rare opportunity: a spacious, flexible split-level home with views, land, and privacy—plus the freedom of no HOA and no Mello Roos. Come experience the light, the air, and the possibilities this Vista retreat has to offer.
