Set on a quarter-acre lot on a cul-de-sac street in the well-maintained Avocado Village, this fully reimagined residence pairs more than $150,000 in upgrades with true move-in-ready comfort. As you arrive, you're greeted with a newly added front courtyard enclosed by vinyl fencing and a custom wrought iron gate, offering a private welcome and a quiet spot for morning coffee. Inside, a fireplace framed by custom stone and molding anchors the main living area, where plantation shutters and new windows filter natural light throughout. A 300-square-foot addition created an open upstairs loft along with a versatile fourth bedroom or office, thoughtfully finished with soundproofing, double doors, a floating ceiling, and insulated interior walls. Skylights added in 2025 brighten the loft and office, while new upstairs flooring, also installed in 2025, and ceiling fans in every bedroom complete the second level. Four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, including refreshed guest baths, offer flexible room to spread out. The backyard is built for effortless San Diego living, with new pavers, turf, a vinyl fence, and mature privacy trees creating a private retreat made for year-round indoor-outdoor enjoyment. A smart irrigation system keeps the landscaping low-maintenance, a side yard adds extra outdoor space, and the two-car garage and expansive driveway deliver rare parking flexibility along with plenty of storage. The home is as efficient as it is comfortable, with PAID OFF solar on the desirable NEM 2.0 plan, a three-year-old air conditioner and furnace, a whole-house fan, a 2023 hot water heater, and a smart security system. Offered at under $1.1 million, this home represents a rare value in one of La Mesa's most established neighborhoods.
