Stunning Barranca Mesa home overlooking Rendija Canyon. Perched on a generous 0.335-acre canyon lot, this property offers the best of both worlds - expansive outdoor space paired with sweeping canyon views. Mature pine trees provide natural beauty, shade, and privacy. Inside, a spacious living room features floor-to-ceiling picture windows and a striking raw-edge quartz fireplace with a wraparound mantle that flows into the dining room, which is large enough to serve as a second living area. The bright white kitchen offers ample room for an eat-in nook, pantry, and the adjacent laundry room provides direct garage access, functioning perfectly as a mudroom or drop zone. The primary suite includes a built-in vanity, a walk-in closet, and large windows facing the canyon. Three additional bedrooms and a guest bath complete the floor plan. From the dining room, step out onto a lovely balcony overlooking the canyon, ideal for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Youll also find a fenced dog run with low-maintenance artificial turf, perfect for pets. Recent updates include a new roof (2024), a new heating system (2025), new flooring (2025), a refrigerator (2025), interior paint (2025), new blinds in the living room, family room, kitchen, and a bedroom (2025), and newer double-pane windows (2005). This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful home with unmatched canyon views on Barranca Mesa. This one is not to be missed! Schedule a private showing today. Disclosure: Owner Broker
