About This Home

Love the idea of a pool but not the upkeep or liability? This community offers the perfect solution: a sparkling pool just steps from your door, plus a private park with playground and basketball courts. Seller is offering a 2/1 rate buydown credit with the right offer for lower initial monthly payments. This fully renovated 4BD/3.5BA La Mesa residence has been upgraded inside and out with brand-new AC, updated plumbing and electrical, and modern finishes throughout. The open-concept layout highlights a redesigned kitchen with shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, mosaic backsplash, stainless apron sink, pendant lighting, and generous storage. The first-floor primary suite offers a private deck, shiplap ceiling, and expansive windows with natural light and views. Upstairs lives like its own private retreat—complete with a second suite, bonus living room, and flexible layout—making it ideal for multi-generational living, in-laws, or dual-living arrangements where kids or extended family enjoy their own level of privacy. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully updated for comfort, function, and style—all just minutes from La Mesa Village, shopping, dining, and freeway access.
