More Insights

Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1964, is described as 'beautifully maintained' and benefits from recent functional upgrades such as new plumbing, a water heater, and an EV charger. However, the kitchen features white cabinets, speckled dark countertops, and a mosaic backsplash, while the bathrooms have older style tile work, wood vanities, and fixtures. These elements, though clean and functional, appear to be from renovations conducted 15-30 years ago, indicating an outdated style rather than a recent extensive renovation. The flooring throughout is in good condition, but the overall aesthetic of key areas shows signs of age.

About this home

Welcome to this beautifully maintained four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom single level ranch home, tucked away on a quiet cul de sac in the heart of Serra Mesa. This is the kind of home buyers wait for, spacious, versatile, and designed for real life, not just good photos. Inside, you’ll find a smart, flowing layout with separate living and family rooms, French doors, skylights, and a charming bay window in the dining area that fills the home with natural light. Major upgrades include a brand new water heater, EV charger in garage, and over $40,000 in plumbing improvements, giving you peace of mind where it matters most. The true showstopper is the expansive California Room, approximately 319 square feet of additional living space not included in the official square footage, bringing the total usable space to about 2,054 square feet. Whether you envision a game room, home gym, play space, or the ultimate indoor-outdoor entertaining zone, this bonus area gives you flexibility most homes simply do not have. Step outside and enjoy easy-to-maintain landscaping, city views, and the calm of a cul de sac location, all while being minutes from shopping, dining, and freeway access. The home also features a detached storage shed, solar PPA at approximately $270 per month, helping keep energy costs predictable and efficient. Homes in Serra Mesa rarely offer this combination of single level living, thoughtful upgrades, bonus space, and prime location. This one does not just check boxes, it raises the bar.

Versatile Bonus Living Space: An expansive 319 sq ft California Room offers flexible additional living area, effectively increasing usable space to approximately 2,054 sq ft.
Desirable Single-Level Layout: A well-maintained four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom single-level ranch home with a smart, flowing layout and separate living and family rooms.

Cons

Age of Construction: Built in 1964, the property is over 50 years old, which may present challenges with older infrastructure or design aesthetics not covered by recent upgrades.
Solar PPA Financial Obligation: The solar PPA, while offering energy savings, is a fixed monthly payment that transfers to the new owner, representing a long-term financial commitment.
