About This Home

As of December 2025

"WOWCOME" Behind a quiet street and mature trees, this La Mesa home feels tucked away yet close to everything that makes the area special. Set on nearly 10,000 square feet of land, the property comes to you with a newly finished pool, a home that’s been completely remodeled from the inside out with each room feeling like luxury, all coming with their very own full bathrooms. Inside, roughly 1,650 square feet of space have been completely re-imagined. Every surface and system is new — plumbing, electrical, roof, and luxury finishes throughout. No corners were cut in this house. It truly is like nothing that is offered in the area. The open layout connects a warm living space with a brand-new kitchen featuring quartz counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and an island designed for both cooking and conversation. Each of the three bedrooms includes its own full bathroom, creating flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. The primary suite adds comfort with a double vanity, walk-in shower, and calm, modern design. A half-bath near the main living area keeps things convenient without interrupting the home’s flow. Step out back, surrounded by a top-of-the-line stainless steel fence for privacy and security, it’s easy to picture weekend gatherings or quiet mornings by the fully heated pool and spa. There’s still plenty of room left to garden, expand, or build an with a detached 2-car garage on one side and an expanded shed on the other. This home offers a great opportunity for ADU, home gym, even a man cave — a smart option in this part of La Mesa where space and privacy are hard to find. The result is a home that feels brand new but fits naturally into its surroundings: peaceful, functional, and ready to live in today. With quick access to the Village, Lake Murray, and nearby trails, this property brings together modern living and the charm that keeps people in La Mesa for decades. Rate buy downs and differnt types of financing options could be considerd
