Tucked into the natural beauty and character of Harbison Canyon, 223 Patrick Dr offers space, flexibility, and a peaceful setting just outside the city. Rebuilt after the 2003 Cedar Fire, the home was then substantially expanded in 2023 with a permitted addition of approximately 787 square feet, bringing the total living area to approximately 1,555 square feet. The expansion added a spacious primary suite with a large walk-in closet, a second full bathroom, indoor laundry, a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office or guest space, and a separate entrance. The result is a flexible 3-bedroom, 2-bath floor plan that can adapt to the next owner's needs. At the heart of the home, a bright living room with vaulted ceilings is anchored by a stacked-stone wood-burning stove, bringing warmth and character to the space. The adjoining eat-in kitchen features oak cabinetry, plentiful natural light, and windows overlooking the surrounding landscape. The kitchen and original bath offer opportunities to update and personalize over time. Outside, this property really shines. Situated on a fully fenced 9,468 sq. ft. lot, which provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, an RV, a boat, and recreational toys. A wraparound deck takes advantage of the surrounding canyon and hillside views, while mature shade trees, open yard space, and low-maintenance landscaping create plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. In this peaceful setting, the property offers space, flexibility, parking, and a rare opportunity in San Diego County.
