Perched atop a serene hillside on nearly 1/2 acre, this beautifully updated La Mesa Village residence captures sweeping southerly views of distant mountains and rolling neighborhood vistas. A striking first impression is created by the home's curated curb appeal, where a vibrant, mature succulent landscape and statement entry door set a refined tone. Inside, rich hardwood floors, elegant coved ceilings, and expansive living spaces are thoughtfully oriented to showcase the views at every turn. The inviting living and dining areas are anchored by a charming fireplace, while the designer kitchen seamlessly connects with abundant custom cabinetry, generous prep surfaces, and a complementary backsplash. Just beyond, a covered, elevated deck offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining or quiet sunset moments overlooking the tranquil grounds below, where shaded seating areas and whimsical garden spaces invite relaxation. The home continues with three spacious, light-filled bedrooms, while the attached two-car garage offers exceptional functionality with built-in storage, a dedicated workroom with cabinetry and sink, and an additional half bath. On the lower level, a private one-bedroom guest suite with full kitchen and bath presents a versatile opportunity for multigenerational living, a home office, or supplemental income. Additional highlights of this 19,822 sq. ft lot property include central heating and air conditioning, dual-pane windows, whole-home water filtration, garage attic storage with pull down ladder and 6 Ring camera system.
