More Insights

Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: This 1985-built home has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, particularly in its two kitchens and bathrooms, which appear to be updated within the last 5-15 years. The main 'chef's kitchen' boasts professional stainless-steel appliances, quartzite countertops, and modern cabinetry, while the middle-level kitchen is also modern and well-appointed. Bathrooms are updated with contemporary fixtures. While the original structure is older and some elements like the upper-level tile flooring and exterior decks show minor wear, and there's an unfinished lower level, the critical areas of the home are move-in ready and feature modern styles and features. The potential lack of central air conditioning is a consideration, but the significant updates to key living spaces elevate its condition beyond 'Fair'.

About this home

Welcome to this unique canyon-view home nestled in the tranquil setting of Collwood Canyon. The upper level features three spacious bedrooms + two bathrooms plus a bonus room/office. The beautifully updated chef’s kitchen showcases stainless-steel professional appliances, a dramatic 3-inch thick redwood island with a 36” gas range & hood, quartzite countertops, a double oven, wine fridge and ice maker. A fireplace warms the living room and sliding doors frame sweeping canyon views and lead to a balcony off the primary bedroom. The middle level has its own modern kitchen, three additional bedrooms (including one behind a “hidden bookcase”), one full bath and a broad deck with both living- and primary-access — perfect as a bonus suite or rental opportunity with separate entrance. The unfinished lower level offers a private art studio or workshop and ample storage. Outside, a large concrete observation deck overlooks terraced canyon landscaping with lime and pomegranate trees, abundant herbs and vegetables — and with the space to add a pool or ADU. Built in 1985, this 5-bed, 3-bath home defines versatility and opportunity in a coveted Talmadge/College West locale. Don’t miss this rare offering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Versatility & Income Potential: The property features a distinct middle level with its own modern kitchen, three bedrooms, and a separate entrance, presenting an ideal setup for a bonus suite, rental opportunity, or multi-generational living.
Updated Chef's Kitchen: The main kitchen is a highlight, boasting professional stainless-steel appliances, a dramatic 3-inch thick redwood island with a 36” gas range, quartzite countertops, a double oven, wine fridge, and ice maker.
Sweeping Canyon Views: Enjoy tranquil, sweeping canyon views from multiple vantage points, including the living room and a private balcony off the primary bedroom, enhancing the property's aesthetic appeal.
Desirable Location & Outdoor Amenities: Nestled in the tranquil Collwood Canyon within the coveted Talmadge/College West locale, the property offers terraced canyon landscaping, a large concrete observation deck, and potential space for a pool or ADU.
Unique Features & Bonus Spaces: The home includes a bonus room/office, a distinctive 'hidden bookcase' bedroom, and an unfinished lower level providing a private art studio/workshop and ample storage, adding character and functional flexibility.

Cons

Unfinished Lower Level: The lower level is described as 'unfinished,' indicating it may require significant investment and customization to become fully functional living space, despite its potential as a studio or workshop.
Mixed Local School Performance: While some schools are highly rated, several nearby elementary and middle schools have average to below-average ratings (e.g., Fay Elementary rating 3, Mann Middle School rating 4), which could be a drawback for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
Potential Lack of Central Air Conditioning: Given the 1985 build year and no mention of a cooling system in the description, it's likely the property lacks central air conditioning, which could be a significant discomfort during San Diego's warmer months.
