About This Home

As of September 2026

Charming 1958 Residence with Modern Comforts and a Resort-Style Backyard This beautifully maintained 1958 home blends mid-century character with thoughtful contemporary upgrades. Throughout the living spaces, original red oak wood floors add warmth and authenticity, while each room has been tastefully updated to enhance comfort and style. The home features three bedrooms and two baths, with two bedrooms equipped with A/C mini-splits—perfect for those occasional warm San Diego days. Energy efficiency is a standout benefit thanks to owned solar, offering meaningful long-term savings. The updated kitchen showcases granite countertops and newer appliances, creating a functional and inviting space for cooking and gathering. Step outside to a true backyard oasis. A screened patio provides a serene retreat, while the pool and hot tub offer year-round enjoyment. The pool is supported by solar heating tubing, extending the swimming season with eco-friendly warmth. The grounds are rounded out by a high-producing lemon tree and two thriving avocado trees, bringing a touch of California abundance to your daily life. Agent is part owner.
