Perched on a quiet hillside in the highly sought-after Loma Portal neighborhood of Point Loma, this beautifully updated cottage blends timeless character with thoughtful modern enhancements. Refined curb appeal welcomes you with newly painted exterior accents and inviting front and rear decks that create the perfect setting to enjoy colorful sunset skies, neighborhood views, and refreshing coastal breezes. Inside, light-filled living spaces are enhanced by luxury pet-grade turf-inspired ease outside and luxury vinyl plank flooring inside, recessed LED lighting, dual-pane windows, and an abundance of natural light. The thoughtfully reimagined kitchen showcases quartz countertops, open shelving, pantry storage, gas cooking, newer appliances, a large single-basin sink, and a versatile breakfast bar ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Completed in 2021, the extensive renovation included the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, fixtures, and finishes, creating a home that feels both stylish and welcoming. Additional highlights include a skylit primary bedroom, in-unit laundry with newer stacked washer and dryer, ceiling fans throughout, a tankless water heater, and a newer roof installed in 2021. The outdoor spaces have been transformed into a private retreat that seamlessly extends the home’s living area. Beautifully curated landscaping balances hardscape and lush greenery, creating inviting destinations for gardening, outdoor dining, relaxing around the fire pit, or enjoying the expansive decks with family and friends. The guest bedroom opens directly to the backyard, enhancing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Situated on a generously sized lot with alley access, the property offers exceptional potential for expansion, a detached ADU with its own private entrance, or multigenerational living. Due to the lot’s topography, a future ADU may enjoy views of the Point Loma Peninsula. Tucked away on a non-through street with minimal traffic, yet ideally located near Liberty Station, Point Loma Village, Ocean Beach, downtown San Diego, San Diego International Airport, and highly regarded schools, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Point Loma living today while investing in the possibilities of tomorrow.
