There’s a lot to love about this little pocket of Vista, and 134 Santa Clara fits right in. This cared-for 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-story home offers over 1,200 square feet on nearly a quarter-acre lot, with no HOA, a long private driveway and plenty of room to breathe. South-facing and filled with natural light, the home has an easy, functional layout that just makes sense. It feels open without trying too hard, with a great connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and plenty of privacy when you want it. The kitchen might be one of the best spaces in the house. Warm wood cabinetry, green tile, open shelving, a huge peninsula with waterfall quartz countertops and a skylight overhead give it an effortlessly cool feel. It’s spacious, functional and full of personality, with plenty of room to cook, gather and actually hang out. The primary bedroom has had some love too, with custom closets and a completely remodeled primary bathroom that feels fresh, clean and modern. And then there’s all the bonus space. A detached one-car garage with a breezeway adds to the home’s mid-century charm, while the fully functional detached modern studio shed is ready to become whatever you need it to be. Home office, gym, creative studio, music room, hide-from-everyone room... you’ve got options. Outside, nearly a quarter acre means there’s actually some space between you and your neighbors. The fully fenced backyard is surrounded by mature, thoughtfully established landscaping, including 10+ palms, multiple varieties of agave, yucca, drought-tolerant plantings and mature bamboo, all supported by automatic irrigation. Along the west side, an established bamboo privacy wall creates a lush natural screen while providing afternoon shade and helping keep the home cooler. The long driveway adds another layer of privacy, while the yard still leaves plenty of room to entertain, garden, play or simply hang out. Add in the views, beautiful morning light and golden sunsets, and this is a home that makes it pretty easy to spend time outside. It’s also been updated where it really counts. The home was completely re-plumbed in 2017 and more recently received a new commercial-grade cool roof and new fascia, taking care of some of the decidedly less-fun homeowner projects. And yes, there’s air conditioning, because comfort matters too. Just up the street are the iconic Cliff May homes of Vista del Loma, giving this neighborhood some serious mid-century roots. While 134 Santa Clara isn’t a Cliff May design, it brings some pretty great advantages of its own: a bigger kitchen, a highly usable floor plan, a longer driveway and considerably more privacy. The location keeps things easy too, with shopping, dining, parks and North County conveniences nearby. A little mid-century, a little modern, and a whole lot of cool.
