Offered for the first time since its construction in 1968, the Kvaas Residence is a remarkable Mt. Helix home designed by architect Hal Sadler, resting on 1.12 acres among a mature grove of olive trees with sweeping northeastern mountain views. Encompassing 3,242 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home is a distinctive expression of California modernism, where sculptural architecture and natural surroundings meet. A dramatic arched entry introduces gallery-like interiors and a monumental floor-to-ceiling imported travertine fireplace. Beyond, the sunken living room unfolds beneath soaring arched windows, framing treetops and distant mountains. Expansive walls of glass and louvered windows invite light and air while connecting the interiors to the landscape. Views extend across the grounds to distant ridgelines. Original fixtures, an atrium-adjacent sunken bathtub, walk-through closets, warm wood finishes and custom built-ins reveal the craftsmanship and thoughtful design of its era. An extraordinary bonus media room features a sweeping, slatted redwood ceiling, and a built-in leather sofa and cabinetry. The kitchen's own fireplace lends warmth to an adjoining flexible office, sitting and dining area. Redwood decking, multiple terraces, a courtyard and a fire pit invite quiet mornings and evenings under the trees. This architectural property presents potential for Mills Act historic preservation tax benefits. An opportunity to thoughtfully preserve and restore a one-of-a-kind home, honoring its original architectural vision while shaping its next chapter.

At the very top of Castle Court, this hilltop home takes in panoramic views of Lakeside, the valley, and the mountains from nearly every window. As the last home on the street, it offers a sense of privacy that is hard to find. Set on 0.71 acre and meticulously maintained by its original owner, it features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, plus a permitted 308 sq ft bonus room downstairs for an office, gym, or guest space. The big updates are done: new roof, new windows, brand-new central HVAC with central AC, a 2017 water heater, and 17 owned, paid-off solar panels. Engineered hardwood flows throughout the open main level. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, with dimmable recessed lighting in the living room and kitchen. The kitchen pairs new countertops with KitchenAid stainless appliances and a gas stove. A picture-frame window over the staircase carries the view upstairs. Then there's the garage: permitted, detached, and tri-level, with three car bays, a workshop below, attic storage above (approx. 6-ft ceilings in both), and six picture-frame windows, so even your shop has a view. Made for the collector, the craftsman, or anyone who needs real space to work. The lot offers potential to add an ADU (buyer to verify with the County). Mornings start with the valley below, evenings end with the lights of Lakeside, and fireworks nights come with a front-row seat. Solar exterior lighting, public water and sewer, no HOA, no Mello-Roos. Views, land, and a home like this rarely come together. Disclaimer: Fireworks and ADU shown in the listing video are AI-generated.
