yellowS2K, there are far more 4 bdrm homes in UC than 5 bdrm, and a few have large bdrms. I just posted links to 5 br’s that had great views (the smallest home/link has small secondary bedrooms but a great view thru Rose Cyn). You mentioned sitting 40 hours a week at home in front of a computer and that is what I do. Fortunately, I have a large private backyard and garden to look at all day!
Be sure to click the “houses” filter on the RH corner of the sdlookup 92122 listing page to eliminate the condo listings.
Have you checked the API scores for Curie and Spreckels Elem?
Why get on the fwy every day and also live inland when you can live nearer the coast and all the conveniences for less $$ all around? And best of all, no commuting!
