What's around 7042 Dennison Street

About this property

Tucked away at the end of a quiet University City cul-de-sac, this amazing property offers one of the more special settings in the neighborhood, perched high above Rose Canyon with expansive west and northwest-facing canyon, sunset, and University City skyline views. The large lot and outdoor lifestyle are the true headline here. Designed for year-round SoCal living, the backyard features a resort-style saltwater pool and spa with built-in slide, beach-entry style edge, water features, gas fire pit with blue fire glass, expansive hardscape, and multiple spaces to relax or entertain. The built-in BBQ island includes a Cal Flame 5-burner grill, refrigerator, sink, bar seating, Bluetooth-enabled sound system, TV, and pergola, creating a true outdoor entertaining setup. An attached covered patio with stucco arches, recessed lighting, and paver flooring adds another shaded living space overlooking the canyon setting, while terraced garden areas and a variety of established fruit trees, including avocado, citrus, guava, pomegranate, plum, persimmon, Asian pear, loquat, apricot, and more, further enhance the property’s outdoor appeal. The sellers have also invested heavily in the long-term care, efficiency, and infrastructure of the home. Major improvements include a newer Owens Corning roof installed in 2019 with a 50-year manufacturer warranty, FULLY OWNED solar with 20 Panasonic panels installed in 2020, Tesla Powerwall 2 battery backup installed in 2022, a 200 amp main electrical panel, EV charger, upgraded gas meter, dual-pane low-E windows throughout, Milgard French and sliding doors, gutters and drainage to the street, and a Carrier gas furnace installed in the attic. The home is currently on Net Energy Metering 2, adding meaningful value for the next owner. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint, trenchless sewer line relining, a rebuilt BBQ pergola, updated pool slide stairs and railings, and new pool and spa lighting, all completed in 2026. Additional updates include a newer pool/spa heater installed in June 2025, updated wrought iron gate, newer Polaris pool sweep, newer stainless-steel dishwasher, and maintained Pentair pool equipment. Inside, the home offers a functional floor plan with generous living spaces, a granite slab fireplace with custom wood mantle, recessed lighting, surround sound wiring, an updated upstairs full bath, refreshed downstairs half bath, and several thoughtful improvements throughout. While portions of the interior retain their original character, the sellers clearly focused their investments on the bones of the home, the systems, the efficiency upgrades, and the incredible outdoor living spaces that make this property so unique and special. Quietly tucked away above Rose Canyon, this amazing property brings together the kind of lot, views, outdoor living, and major system upgrades that are increasingly hard to find, all in a peaceful cul-de-sac setting designed to enjoy the best of San Diego living.
