Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1960 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer opportunity' and 'diamond in the rough,' this property requires a full cosmetic and functional rehab. While major systems like the HVAC (2019), solar (2017), and water heater (2024) have been updated, the interior remains dated and the overall condition suggests significant restoration is needed to make it move-in ready.
Despite being a fixer, the property features high-value improvements including owned solar panels, a reinforced foundation, newer exterior stucco, and a 2019 mini-split HVAC system, reducing immediate capital expenditure on major systems.
The 6,300 square foot lot with alley access and an existing concrete slab provides an excellent opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or secure parking for an RV or boat.
Situated in a desirable La Mesa pocket, the home is within walking distance to Vista La Mesa Park and close to the vibrant shopping and dining corridor on University Avenue.
As a 'diamond in the rough' fixer opportunity, the property will require a substantial additional investment of time and capital to modernize the interior and restore its full market value.
At 1,105 square feet, the living space is relatively compact, which may limit appeal for larger families or buyers seeking more expansive common areas.
