What This House Offers
Property Id: 2789690
Step inside this mid-century garden oasis with sweeping canyon and mountain views. The yard is packed with approximately 20 fruit trees,... raised veggie beds, including a community herb box, and more passionfruit than you could reasonably eat. It is an ideal setup for the seasoned green thumb or the aspiring gardener. Newer pour-in-place pavers and pergolas in both the front and back create inviting spaces to relax, entertain, or simply admire your future harvest.
The backyard winds down into a canyon that comes alive in the spring and opens to a short hiking and mountain biking trail, so nature is essentially your next-door neighbor. Exterior upgrades include a newer roof, solar with a Tesla battery, a large rainwater harvesting tank, smart irrigation, a custom security screen gate, fresh exterior paint, updated lighting, and a two-car garage.
Despite its serene canyon setting, the home is incredibly central. Located in Serra Mesa, you can walk to Snapdragon Stadium and are just minutes from Mission Valley, North Park, Balboa Park, SDSU, shopping, dining, major medical centers, and easy access to the 8, 15, 805, and 163 freeways, making it easy to get almost anywhere in San Diego.
Inside, the home is bright and open with vaulted ceilings and large windows. Thoughtfully updated with engineered oak flooring throughout, mini-split A/C zoned to each room, three Velux skylights that open, close, and include blinds, and a fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves. The remodeled bathrooms blend clean, modern finishes with custom alder wood, including a one-of-a-kind vanity top. Matching alder wood adds warmth and character to the living room bar top. Each room feels private while remaining connected to the outdoors, with views of the canyon or garden and regular visits from hummingbirds and butterflies, who apparently also know a good listing when they see one.
