A Rare Fire Mountain–Skylark Terrace Estate — Fully Reimagined from the Slab Up Set on an 11,800-square-foot corner lot — on of the largest parcels in the Fire Mountain–Skylark Terrace subdivision — this 1,918-square-foot residence at 1354 Cornish Drive in Oceanside, CA 92054 underwent a complete, ground-up remodel in 2005: new foundation, new slab (excluding the primary bedroom), all-new electrical panel and subpanel, and a new sewer line to the front yard. This isn't a cosmetic update; it's a rebuilt home in one of North County San Diego's most sought-after hillside neighborhoods. Inside, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms unfold across a design inspired by Italian country architecture. The great room has 16 foot ceilings anchored by a 26-by-7-foot domed ceiling and a solid art wall, flowing into a large sunroom filled with natural light. Travertine flooring runs throughout the main living areas, with carpet in the bedrooms. Granite surfaces extend through the kitchen and bathrooms — including window sill and the stove backsplash — and a walk-in pantry adds everyday functionality. Built for comfort and quiet: 9-foot ceilings, R-20 roof insulation, thick 5/8-inch drywall throughout, dual-pane windows, and solid-core, sound-suppressing doors. The primary suite goes further with soundboard insulation in the bathroom and bedroom walls for true acoustic privacy. Outdoor living is generous on this 11,800-square-foot lot — two sunny patios for entertaining, a large fully fenced backyard, three storage sheds, gated secondary gravel parking, a French drain system with sump pump, and mature wisteria anchoring the property's edge. A 15-foot circumference plumbed base stands ready for a water fountain feature. A large walk-around attic with solid flooring and high ceilings offers potential for future expansion, and the generous lot size leaves real room to explore a pool or ADU. Location seals it: minutes to the 5 and 78 freeways, Palmquist Elementary and Lincoln Middle school are close by, easy access to Mira Costa college and Cal State San Marcos, and Oceanside and Carlsbad beaches — all within the established, walkable streets of Fire Mountain.
