About This Home
Two detached homes on one property in the desirable Vista La Mesa neighborhood of La Mesa—offering a rare opportunity for rental income, multigenerational living, or a flexible live-in investment. Ideally located near shopping, dining, and major freeways, this versatile property blends comfortable living with strong long-term potential. Both homes have been freshly painted, and the ADU features newly installed flooring, giving the property a clean, move-in-ready feel. The main residence at 4003 Paula is a charming single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offering approximately 1,287 square feet of living space. Renovated in 2021, the home features modern updates, off-street parking, and a functional layout designed for everyday comfort. A private yard creates a welcoming outdoor space ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying San Diego’s year-round climate. Tucked privately on the same lot, the detached ADU at 7132 Hoffman—built in 2021—offers an impressive 1,044 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. This well-appointed residence includes in-unit laundry, its own private yard, and access to a two-car garage and driveway, providing both convenience and privacy for occupants. Both homes are now completely vacant, giving a buyer the rare opportunity to occupy one or both residences, select their own tenants, or create the ideal multigenerational living setup from day one.
