Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950 with a kitchen renovation featuring oak cabinetry and tile work that appears to be 20-25 years old. While the home is exceptionally well-maintained, move-in ready, and features attractive vaulted ceilings, the primary systems and finishes are dated and will eventually require modernization to meet current standards.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8292, living area = 1256.
The property is situated on an R-3 zoned lot, offering significant long-term value for investors or homeowners looking to add ADUs or additional units to maximize the 8,292 sqft space.
Featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, warm wood floors, and a private suite with French doors, the home offers a unique aesthetic and flexible living arrangements for extended family or rentals.
Built in 1950, the home may require updates to aging systems or structural components to meet modern efficiency standards, potentially increasing the immediate cost of ownership.
At 1,256 square feet, the interior living space is relatively compact for the price point, which may feel restrictive for buyers prioritizing expansive indoor common areas.
Whether you are an investor exploring the possibility of adding units or a buyer looking for a home with built-in long-term value, this El Cajon R-3 zoned property delivers on both counts. The property makes a strong first impression. An ornate iron fence with scrollwork lines the street, tall mature palms tower above drought-tolerant landscaping, and a long covered front porch with a swing invites you to slow down before you even step inside. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and warm wood floors carry through the main living areas. A solid wood door with oval leaded glass opens to the entry, and a graceful arched doorway with hand-forged metalwork connects the formal living room to a second family space. Multiple bedrooms include a bright primary with oversized windows and a chandelier, plus a large private suite with French doors and direct outside access, flexible for extended family or future rental possibilities. The backyard is a standout. A brick paver path winds past mature palms, a sago palm, succulents, a tiered fountain, and garden sculptures to reach a classic white gazebo framed beneath a canopy of mature fruit trees. A covered tile patio provides shaded outdoor living and dining space. The yard has a lush, whimsical character that takes time to build. Buyers are encouraged to verify R-3 zoning and explore ADU or additional unit potential directly with the city.
