A Charming Garden Retreat with Views, Character & Ample Room to Grow Set atop a gentle knoll on almost 1/2 acre, 777 Bonita is a rare blend of timeless charm, privacy and possibility. From this enchanting retreat, distant mountains and endless skies stretch in every direction, while refreshing coastal… Read More breezes drift in from the beach, just 15 minutes away. Winding garden paths invite a quiet morning walk through an extraordinary collection of mature landscaping and fruit trees, including apple, orange, peach, plum, guava, avocado, kumquat, grape, pomegranate, grapefruit and dragonfruit. Six raised garden boxes are ready for herbs and berries, with rosemary, thyme, strawberry, boysenberry, basil, onion and sage already planted. Spring brings a sea of lavender, bright yellow succulent blooms, colorful geraniums and hibiscus. Four olive trees, two Japanese maples and two strawberry trees create a peaceful grove in the rear garden, while two birch trees frame the front. A magnificent mature palm adds an iconic focal point to the landscape. Tucked beneath a mature evergreen and seasonally draped in purple blooms, a hidden garden sanctuary offers the perfect place to enjoy coffee, a good book or conversation with a friend. The 1946 home retains its original character, including charming wood-beam ceilings, while thoughtful updates bring contemporary comfort. The remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring light maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large pantry and new white GE Café appliances. A black iron wood-burning stove adds warmth and character on cool winter mornings, while an oversized window looks out to the lush backyard. The inviting sitting room features a trio of windows framing beautiful sunset views and ever-changing skies. New premium vinyl plank flooring flows throughout most of the home. New light maple exterior doors with glass panels at both the front and back complement the home's simple, timeless architecture. Outside in the back, a picnic area with a brick firepit and flagstone path beneath a large jacaranda tree create an idyllic setting for evening gatherings. A new washer and dryer are located in the garage. Beyond the home's existing footprint, the property offers exciting possibilities. Explore the potential for an ADU nestled among the trees, or consider the opportunity to use the existing home as an ADU while creating a larger residence toward the rear of the property, subject to applicable approvals and regulations. The attached garage also offers flexibility for a workshop, studio, or additional creative space. A special property with a rare sense of place—private, peaceful, and surrounded by beauty, yet close to the coast and all that Vista has to offer. Read Less
