About this home

"The Unicorn of San Tropico: Vaulted Ceilings, Bonus Loft & the Largest Floorplan in the Complex" WHAT WE LOVE: Only four floorplans exist in San Tropico — and Unit D is the rarest of them all. With soaring ceilings, clerestory windows pouring in natural light, and a lofted bonus room perched above the open-concept living area, this home feels like a sanctuary in the sky. Elevated above street level with your own garage below, this unique layout gives you space, light, and style in one of Sabre Springs’ most peaceful and soughtafter communities. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT.): Welcome to Unit D — the crown jewel of San Tropico. This floorplan is the largest and most coveted in the entire complex, and it rarely hits the market. The main living area stuns with vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, and dual-level clerestory glass that floods the space with light. The upstairs loft bonus room overlooks the open-concept living area, offering the perfect flex space for a home office, guest suite, media room, or creative studio. Townhome-style living means no neighbors above or below, your private 2-car garage has direct access, directly underneath the unit and tons of storage! The home is elevated above the street, giving you privacy, quiet, and a tree-top, mountainous view. Set in the tucked-away enclave of Sabre Springs, you’re just minutes from I-15, yet surrounded by walking trails, nature, and the laid-back resort vibe of this well-kept community. Whether you're hiking through nearby canyons or grabbing groceries in Carmel Mountain, you’re always close to what you need — but far from the noise. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to own the rarest unit in one of San Diego’s best-kept secrets.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1993, making it 31 years old. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinetry and dark countertops, though some appliances appear newer. Bathrooms are clean and functional with updated vanity tops and faucets, but the lighting fixtures and overall tile styles are consistent with the property's age or a minor refresh, not a full modern renovation. The flooring in the main living areas is in good condition, but other elements show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' category for a property built over 25 years ago with no major recent renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Unique & Coveted Floorplan: Described as 'The Unicorn of San Tropico' and the 'largest and most coveted in the entire complex,' this rare floorplan offers an exclusive and highly sought-after living experience.
Abundant Natural Light & High Ceilings: Features soaring vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows, and dual-level clerestory glass that floods the open-concept living area with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Versatile Loft Space: A lofted bonus room overlooks the main living area, providing flexible space ideal for a home office, guest suite, media room, or creative studio, enhancing functionality.
Enhanced Privacy & Direct Access Garage: Elevated above street level with townhome-style living (no neighbors above or below) ensures privacy and quiet. It also includes a private 2-car garage with direct access and ample storage.
Desirable Location & Community Amenities: Situated in a peaceful Sabre Springs enclave, minutes from I-15, surrounded by walking trails and nature, offering a laid-back resort vibe and tree-top, mountainous views, with access to highly-rated schools.

Cons

High Monthly Association Fees: The property carries a significant monthly association fee of $495.0, which adds to the overall cost of ownership and may deter some buyers.
Potential for Dated Interiors/Systems: Built in 1993, the property's age suggests that some interior finishes or systems may be original and could require future updates or renovations, as no recent upgrades are explicitly mentioned.
Absence of Mention of Cooling System: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a comfort concern during San Diego's warmer months.
