About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to your El Cajon oasis! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and functionality—complete with a sparkling, resurfaced pool and a spacious detached 2-car garage ideal for hobbies, storage, or even a jam session. Remodeled in 2016, the home features a stunning open-concept layout with a sunken living room, stylish dining area, and a chef-worthy kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a sleek drop-down hood, and modern finishes throughout. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with new tile, cabinetry, lighting, and fixtures. Pride of ownership truly shines with recent updates including fresh interior and exterior paint, new flooring in the bedrooms, upgraded electrical panel, partial new fencing, and the installation of a pool fence for added peace of mind. The seller even invested in premium Raleigh St. Augustine grass for a lush, green lawn. Enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of a friendly neighborhood that hosts an annual 4th of July parade, quiet streets with minimal through traffic, and little free libraries sprinkled throughout. It’s not uncommon to see neighbors out walking their dogs or chatting in the evenings. Plus, you’re just 10–15 minutes from local hiking trails and have ample street parking for guests. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready pool home in one of El Cajon’s most welcoming communities! Recent upgrades & features: Pool was resurfaced with new equipment. New interior and exterior paint. Replaced carpet in bedrooms with flooring Last year we emptied the pool and had our pool service company complete an acid wash on the pool including sanding it down. 10-15 minutes away from hiking trails Ample street parking
