Honored with an Award of Excellence by San Diego Home & Garden Magazine, the home is centered around a tranquil Zen garden—visible from nearly every room—creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.

Palomar, offering a striking sense of place, intention, and reverence for natural materials. The U-shaped floor plan embraces the formal garden and water features, filling the home with light, calm, and balance.

Every corner of reminiscent of this half acre is curated for beauty, tranquility and a peaceful living experience. Additional features include Japanese ceramic tile roofing with rolled stainless steel, dual HVAC systems, water filtration, granite countertops, indirect lighting, integrated security, ethanol fireplace and more—each detail selected with intention and craftsmanship.

Helix for its rare blend of elevated views, privacy, and community charm.
