About This Home

The most unique home in La Mesa—offering unmatched flexibility, incredible value, and endless possibilities. Rarely does a property come to market like this that so seamlessly adapts to the way people live today. Whether you're searching for a spacious 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom dream home, a multi-generational living solution, or an income-producing property with ADU potential, this exceptional residence delivers it all. This lives like two houses in one, thoughtfully designed with three bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs and three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the upper level. The flexible floor plan can function as one expansive residence or be easily separated into two living spaces. With its own private entrance, the top portion is ideal for an ADU, rental opportunity, guest quarters, mother-in-law suite, or extended family, giving you the opportunity to generate rental income and offset your mortgage while maintaining privacy for everyone. This home has its own central A/C unit on EACH FLOOR and its own heating unit on EACH FLOOR, perfect for multi-family living. There is a washer and dryer hookup upstairs and one that can be easily transformed downstairs. Completely reimagined from top to bottom with no expense spared, this home has been extensively remodeled and is completely turnkey within the last few years.
