Fully Upgraded La Mesa Gem on Expansive (6800sq/ft) Corner Lot. This meticulously improved and maintained home offers rare long-term value and immediate peace of mind with room to relax, gather, and grow. This home has been improved and maintained with a focus on major system upgrades, efficiency, and long-term cost savings. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system (last year), major plumbing refresh (last year), double pane windows, roof, plantation shutters, whole house water filtration system, and tankless water heater—all completed within the past 10 years. Additional upgrades include solar (leased), a refurbished crawl space with vapor barrier, updated baseboards and crown molding throughout, and new interior paint completed last month, offering peace of mind and reduced future maintenance costs. Inside, original hardwood floors add warmth and character, paired with a remodeled kitchen featuring granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, and ample storage. The home also includes a remodeled bathroom and a thoughtfully added primary ensuite completed approximately five years ago with permits, enhancing comfort and functionality. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with a large covered deck and trellis overlooking a generous backyard designed for entertaining and relaxation. The yard includes mature landscaping and space for gatherings or expansion (ADU potential). A small detached casita with a recently replaced roof provides ideal space for a home office, studio, or retreat. Additional highlights include a detached 2-car garage with new garage door, white picket fencing recently repainted, and abundant storage throughout. This is a rare opportunity where the major improvements have already been completed, offering a well-maintained, move-in ready home with strong value positioning in a desirable La Mesa neighborhood.
