Thoughtfully reimagined with a fresh mid-century aesthetic, 4038 Violet Street is a light-filled retreat where clean design and seamless indoor-outdoor living come together effortlessly. Situated on a generous 6,300-square-foot lot, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features nearly 1,000 square feet of living space plus a versatile bonus room that can easily serve as a dining room, home office, or creative space. Inside, warm oak hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a welcoming atmosphere, while the thoughtfully updated kitchen combines classic style with modern convenience. Newer appliances, updated countertops, a designer-inspired backsplash, and contemporary finishes make it perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Beyond the interior, the backyard retreat becomes a true extension of the home. Designed for easy maintenance, the expansive yard features lush turf, garden beds, a sparkling pool, and a large covered deck, perfect for entertaining friends, hosting summer barbecues, or simply relaxing while enjoying San Diego's year-round climate. A detached two-car garage with alley access, recent insulation, and drywall upgrades adds exceptional versatility for storage, a workshop, fitness studio, or potential future ADU.
