More Insights

Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this property has been maintained and features some appealing Mid-Century Modern architectural elements. One bathroom has been recently updated with modern fixtures and finishes. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with older white appliances, dated cabinets, and an electric coil cooktop, requiring a full renovation. The master bathroom also features dated vanity, lighting, and shower enclosure. Flooring is a mix of worn carpet and some newer laminate/tile. The presence of window AC units suggests an older cooling system. While functional, the property requires substantial updates in key areas to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

About this home

Is Mid-Century Modern a real thing? Absolutely—and this home embodies it beautifully. Tucked into the highly sought-after Del Cerro neighborhood, this ranch-style gem showcases exposed beams, striking wood-clad vaulted ceilings, and all the architectural character you’d expect from the era. Sitting on an expansive 11,800 sq ft lot, the property offers room for an RV, space for your own vegetable garden, and a usable perch at the top of the slope where you can relax and take in the views. And still have space to build an ADU. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home is just steps from Del Cerro Park, where you’ll find tennis courts, walking trails, a community pool, and even an open lot perfect for guest parking when you’re hosting those big gatherings. Only a 7 minute drive to SDSU, Lake Murray & Patrick Henry High school.
