About 5556 Baja Dr
Phenomenal Price for a fully renovated home with strong location! Designed with timeless architectural influence and thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, this stunning mid-century modern residence—believed to be originally designed by renowned architect William Krisel, AIA, in 1960—beautifully honors the era’s iconic design language while blending today’s most sought-after finishes. Vaulted exposed tongue-and-groove ceilings and clean architectural lines create an airy, expansive feel throughout the home, while thoughtfully added strip LED and soffit recessed lighting enhances the warmth and character of the space. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area, allowing the home to live far larger than its true size. A striking mid-century inspired fireplace with statement tile serves as the focal point of the main living space. Extensively remodeled throughout, the home features new LVP flooring, premium white oak skinny shaker cabinetry, custom white oak entry built-ins with integrated LED lighting, and beautifully finished bathrooms with designer tile selections. Outside, the property has been upgraded with custom landscaping and low-maintenance synthetic turf, creating a clean and modern aesthetic with minimal upkeep. The spacious lot extends up the hillside, offering potential for an additional outdoor entertaining deck or view space to further enhance the property’s lifestyle appeal. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored architectural gem in one of San Diego’s most desirable mid-century neighborhoods.
