Property Description

(Main house fully completed/renovated since last list) A rare investment or owner-user opportunity in the heart of La Mesa, this thoughtfully designed property offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living and multiple potential income streams. The seller, who appeared on an HGTV series alongside The Property Brothers, invested more than $600,000 in extensive renovations. The property now features 3 separate, fully functional living spaces, plus a 4th unfinished detached space ready for the next owner’s vision. This unique property can serve as a turnkey single family residence for owner-users, or ultimately a 4 unit investment property with significant short or long term rental upside. Set on a large, usable 1/4 AC lot (10,800 SF), the home was designed around a beautiful mature California oak tree, creating a striking focal point visible from the moment you enter. The huge chef’s kitchen features Viking commercial-grade appliances, a baker’s workstation, floor-to-ceiling tile, and reclaimed wood beams. A dining cube overlooks the beautifully lit oak, while Italian porcelain tile adds a refined finish throughout. The lush, private grounds feel like a tropical retreat, with multiple fruit-producing trees, two decks, a fire pit, outdoor kitchen island, and an inviting dining area ideal for Southern California’s year-round outdoor lifestyle. A large aviary tower with an elevated sitting area could also serve as a chicken coop, and the spacious backyard offers room for a future pool or spa. Additional improvements include a new roof, new 200-amp electrical panel and wiring, three efficient mini-split heating and air systems, commercial-size laundry appliances, an additional outdoor washer hookup, irrigation, private fencing, electric gated entry, and six off-street parking spaces. With only one adjacent neighbor, the property offers a rare sense of peace and privacy. Select furniture, artwork, and the antique Airstream trailer, previously rented for $1,500 per month, may also be available for purchase, creating the opportunity for a truly turnkey property.
