About This Home

As of June 2026

THE NICEST HOME IN IMPERIAL BEACH! Fully remodeled 2 bed / 2 bath showstopper with new roof, owned solar, resort-style pool with dual fountains, massive tiled patios, and high-end finishes throughout. This home blends luxury interior upgrades with an ultra-private, serene backyard oasis rarely found in Imperial Beach. Sold fully furnished, the inside features warm wood flooring and a designer kitchen anchored by a huge island with seating, Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, slide-out pantry, and sleek undermount sink. The layout flows seamlessly through a bright dining area and open living space filled with natural light, creating an ideal setup for both everyday living and entertaining. Both bathrooms are fully upgraded, including a spa-like primary bath (~12’ x 10’) with an oversized walk-in glass shower, freestanding soaking tub, dual sinks, expansive mirror, and bidet seat toilet. The hall bath is equally impressive with full tile, soaking tub, and modern waterfall-style fixtures. The backyard is the true centerpiece—featuring a stunning in-ground pool with fountain, secondary rock fountain, expansive tiled patio, raised lounge area with covered trellis, lighting, and fire feature, plus outdoor shower, artificial turf, mature landscaping, and fruit trees creating a peaceful, private retreat. Additional highlights include dual-pane windows, custom paver driveway with turf accents, epoxy garage flooring, alley access, and meticulous landscaping in both front and rear yards. All this and only blocks to the beach!
