$975,000 | 3 Beds | 1 Baths (1 Full) | 1,272 Sq. Ft.

Rarely does a property offer this level of charm, functionality, and future potential in one of La Mesa's most desirable locations. Situated on an expansive 12,200 sq. ft. lot, this beautifully maintained single-level Mid-Century residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, a dedicated office/gym, separate dining room, laundry room, and a beautifully remodeled chef's kitchen featuring a wine refrigerator and seamless flow into the living area. Original refinished 1950s hardwood floors and a stunning mahogany archway preserve the home's authentic Mid-Century appeal while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including dual-pane windows, a new roof, HVAC system, and water heater, all installed in 2018. The outdoor space is equally impressive, showcasing a mature tropical landscape, premium turf, and exceptional privacy that creates a true backyard retreat. Designed for today's lifestyle, the property features owned Tesla solar with 17 panels, a Tesla Powerwall, and a 220V EV charging outlet. The oversized lot offers exceptional flexibility with ample room for RVs, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, and future expansion. Adding tremendous value, the property includes approximately $50,000 in professionally prepared building plans and a pre-graded yard. Previously approved plans include a custom three-car garage with 14-foot walls designed to accommodate vehicle lifts and a mezzanine, along with a substantial primary suite expansion featuring a luxurious bathroom and an impressive 8' x 14' walk-in closet. Ideally positioned near some of San Diego's most popular destinations, the home is within walking distance of Lake Murray, 5 minutes from Cowles Mountain, Downtown La Mesa, and 1 minute to Interstate 8. Only 30 minutes to Escondido, and 30 minutes to the boarder, this home truly puts you in the center of San Diego. A truly unique opportunity to own a character-rich property with significant future upside in one of San Diegos most sought-after neighborhoods. Some photos have been digitally staged.
