More Insights

Built in 1966 (60 years old).
Condition: Built in 1966, this home has undergone significant updates, including owned solar, a whole-house water system, and nearly all dual-pane windows, indicating good maintenance and functional systems. The kitchen features granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances that appear to be from a renovation approximately 15-20 years ago, making it functional and well-kept, though not cutting-edge modern. Bathrooms show a mix; one appears recently updated with modern vanity and tile, while others have updates consistent with the kitchen's timeline. Flooring varies from tile to hardwood and carpet, all appearing in good condition. While some styles are not brand new, the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score. The unpermitted bathroom and bonus room are noted but do not detract from the physical condition of the main living areas.

About this home

Set on a serene hillside near La Mesa Village in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, this view home offers a comfortable and private setting with elevated outlooks. Surrounded by mature plants and trees, the property features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths (one not permitted). The floor plan lives primarily on one level, with just a few steps between the family room and kitchen. French doors from the family room open to the backyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow, while French doors from the primary bedroom provide direct access outside. A dedicated office off the living room offers a quiet work-from-home space. Nearly all windows have been upgraded to dual-pane (all except two). Additional features include owned solar, roof exhaust fans, and a whole-house water system with reverse osmosis drinking water and soft water. A bonus room off the garage (approx. 315 sq. ft., unpermitted) offers flexible use as a gym, office, or studio. The main living areas are accessed from the garage by a single set of stairs, and once inside, the home functions much like a single-level residence, with just a few interior steps. The backyard includes a covered porch and spa, framed by mature landscaping, while the front of the house captures views of Mt Helix. The elevated hillside location provides privacy and a sense of seclusion. Two-car garage. Walking distance to La Mesa Village restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, pubs, and community events, with nearby access to an elementary school. A rare opportunity to own a private hillside view home with versatile living space in one of La Mesa’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
