5444 Princess View Ct

Perched near the top of a quiet cul-de-sac with sweeping sunset views over the hills of East San Diego, this beautifully remodeled Allied Gardens gem delivers a Palm Springs resort lifestyle without leaving the city. Thoughtfully updated in 2022, every detail has been considered, from the sun-drenched interiors to the jaw-dropping entertainer’s backyard.

Step inside to an open floor plan bathed in natural light, anchored by a dramatic living room with vaulted beamed ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace with designer tile surround, and sliding glass doors that frame the backyard like a painting. A large skylight floods the dining area with daylight, and warm laminate floors flow seamlessly throughout. The fully remodeled kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island with seating for four, stainless steel appliances, a built-in wine refrigerator, and rope pendant lights that bring a coastal vibe indoors.

Three well-appointed bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and custom closet organizers, offer comfort and flexibility. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard through its own private slider. Two stylishly updated bathrooms round out the interior with modern finishes and matte black fixtures.

Outside is where this home earns its reputation. A sprawling entertainer’s yard features a massive custom pergola with string lights, a resort-style pool with sundeck, lush turf lawn, and mature tropical landscaping that creates a true private oasis. Sunset views stretch across the hill country every evening.

The owner has invested $40,000+ in upgrades since purchase, including a new pool pump and filter, pool cover, exterior and interior paint, new front door, and smart thermostat. Since 2023, the property has operated as a highly rated vacation rental, generating over $50,000 from June through September 2025 alone, with 30+ five-star reviews.
