Description

Set in the heart of La Mesa Colony, this 1927 two-bedroom, one-bath home offers timeless character, thoughtful updates, and exciting possibilities for the future. An appealing starter-home opportunity with room to grow, the property provides space to explore the potential addition of a garage or carport with an ADU above or behind it, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and approvals. Recent improvements enhance both style and functionality, including a new roof, new 200-amp electrical panel, updated kitchen with new cabinetry and countertops, new maple flooring, new carpet, replacement windows, and newly installed air mini split conditioning plus newly installed gas wall heater. Additional upgrades include driveway improvements, new fencing and privacy screens, refinished basement space, and a wine cellar. Outdoor living is expanded with both upper and lower concrete patios, creating flexible areas for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. The property's layout and site offer a compelling blend of existing charm and future potential, while its central La Mesa location puts an abundance of dining, shopping, coffee shops, and freeway access just down the street. San Diego State University is approximately 3.5 miles away. With its combination of classic 1920s character, meaningful updates, usable outdoor space, and opportunity to expand, this La Mesa Colony home is ready to be enjoyed today while offering possibilities for tomorrow. A must see!
