About This Home

As of May 2020

She may be faded on the outside but inside she's vibrant, radiant & utterly romantic! Reminiscent of the artist cottages that dotted the hillsides of Laguna Beach a century ago, this 1930s La Mesa Highlands charmer features knock-your-socks-off views of Mount Helix & eve lights from all major rooms, decks & patio; gleaming hardwood floors; delightful kitchen with breakfast nook & studio apartment rental with private entry/exit & kitchenette! 4-minute drive to Historic La Mesa Village shops & restaurants. Previous appraisal has home at 1700 s.f. Vintage home aficionados will LOVE this house! Outside needs paint and decks/deck stairs need work. Though the freeway is nearby, it cannot be heard from inside and the view of it from the cozy interior is akin to seeing a freeway from a high rise - dramatic.
