About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to this beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with an attached 1-car garage, thoughtfully upgraded inside and out for modern comfort and efficiency. Major improvements at a cost of over $175,000 include solar with Enphase battery system (2023), a new roof with low-profile vents (2023), new 200-amp electrical panel, and an EV charging outlet—making this home energy-smart and future-ready. Enjoy year-round comfort with newer dual-pane windows, central HVAC, plus mini-split system in family room, new A/C condenser (2023), and a replaced water heater. Additional enhancements include a fiberglass front door with glass insert, updated flooring, low-flow toilets, and modern LED lighting throughout. The exterior is equally impressive with a freshly painted façade, rain gutters and drainage, retractable awnings, and an air curtain system at entry points for added efficiency and fly prevention. The professionally designed landscaping showcases drought-tolerant features, turf backyard with drainage, and a striking front yard with decorative country manor wall, pathways, palm & agave trees, curved patio with shade sail, and decomposed granite accents—perfect for low-maintenance outdoor living. This remarkable and highly updated home combines style, energy efficiency, and modern convenience in one incredible package. Centrally located in the coveted Brookside Neighborhood in La Mesa for easy commute and everyday conveniences.
