More Insights

Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: While major systems like solar, sewer lines, HVAC, and dual-pane windows have been recently updated, the property is explicitly described as a 'true cosmetic fixer' with a 'dated interior & design' requiring 'extensive cosmetic renovation.' The images confirm this, showing a very dated kitchen with old cabinets, countertops, and backsplash, as well as worn carpets and outdated light fixtures. The overall aesthetic condition of the interior, particularly the kitchen and implied bathrooms, is poor and requires substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards.

About this home

4584 Jicarillo Avenue presents a rare investor and value-add opportunity in one of San Diego’s most desirable canyon settings. Situated on an expansive 14,500 sq ft canyon-view lot, this property offers breathtaking sunset views and endless potential to renovate, expand, or reimagine. This is a true cosmetic fixer with strong fundamentals already in place while allowing a savvy buyer/investor to focus on maximizing upside rather than costly infrastructure. Major improvements include Solar under NEM 2.0 installed in 2022 (with a 25-year warranty on panels and micro-inverters), sewer lines relined in 2021, central heating and air conditioning, and dual-pane windows throughout. These big-ticket upgrades significantly reduce future capital expenses and enhance long-term value. The large lot size is a standout feature, offering flexibility for outdoor living, potential expansion, or creative development while the canyon backdrop delivers a serene, resort-like feel rarely found this close to everything San Diego has to offer. Whether you’re an investor seeking your next value-add project or a buyer looking to create a custom canyon-view home, this property combines location, lot size, energy efficiency, and upside into one compelling opportunity. ***
