Property Description

Perched behind a gated entrance in the scenic hills of Mount Helix, this expansive approximately 4,622 sq ft estate presents a rare opportunity to own a property with both historical significance and exceptional potential. Originally built for prominent San Diego figure C. Arnholt Smith, the residence reflects a distinctive architectural style and level of craftsmanship inspired by the iconic Westgate Hotel. Set on over half an acre, the two-story home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, with a flexible floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Panoramic views stretch across the surrounding hillsides, with ocean visibility on clear days, while a wraparound deck and expansive lower patio provide seamless indoor-outdoor living. The lower level features a secondary kitchen, additional living space, and private quarters - ideal for extended living arrangements, guests, or added versatility. Additional highlights include a gated entry, private driveway, and a 4-car garage, including an oversized RV garage and dedicated gym space. Located in a desirable Mount Helix setting with no HOA, Mello Roos, or CDD fees, the property offers convenient access to nearby amenities while maintaining a sense of privacy and elevation. A unique opportunity to reimagine and personalize a view-oriented estate in one of San Diego’s most distinctive hillside communities.
