More Insights
Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1954, has received recent cosmetic updates including new paint and flooring, making it appear clean and move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and a mix of newer stainless steel appliances with an older white refrigerator, along with outdated fluorescent lighting. The bathroom also presents an older style vanity and lighting. While well-maintained, these areas and implied older systems (like wall heaters) show signs of being outdated and would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

About this home
First time on market since Sonny & Cher sang the Beat Goes On! While La Mesa has grown by leaps & bounds in recent years, this lovely cul-de-sac remains quiet with sweet homes, picket fences & green lawns. Only 1.5 flat miles to the Historic Downtown Village, turnkey property features over 2,000 sf of spacious interior including big kitchen & large family room with handsome brick fireplace & direct access to deck & sizable backyard. Recently painted, new floors. Close to dining, shopping & commuting.

Absence of Notable Views: The property description explicitly states 'view: None,' indicating a lack of scenic or panoramic views that can often enhance property value in the Southern California market.
