About this home

Beautifully remodeled canyon-view home with 500+ sq ft basement featuring separate access and exciting ADU potential on an R-2 lot. Modern earth-tone finishes, an open-concept layout, and stylish upgrades create the perfect blend of comfort and future upside. The bright interior features a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, designer tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, and a spacious breakfast bar peninsula. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bathroom with a chic dual-sink vanity and oversized tiled shower. The partially finished basement provides excellent flexibility for a future ADU, guest suite, office, gym, or rental opportunity (buyer to verify). A unique two-tiered lot and scenic canyon views add privacy and outdoor potential rarely found at this price point. Recent upgrades include updated plumbing and a newer roof. Conveniently located near parks, shopping, dining, schools, and major freeways in San Diego.
