Wonderfully updated single level POOL home now available in La Mesa. This home is a true entertainer's delight. The open floorplan family room and dining room gives a line of sight view from the front door to the backyard. Updated wood floors, windows and paint throughout. The home boasts 3 generous bedrooms and 1 1/2 updated bathrooms. The main full bathroom has a luxurious soaking tub ready to take any of your worries away. All bedrooms, family room and dining room have modern ceiling fans. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with newer cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. From the kitchen you will access an expansive deck ready to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon tea or wine. The deck overlooks this entertainers delight with a terraced backyard that you don't want to miss! The top level has had brand new turf installed for low maintenance and wonderful for kids play, dogs play or sunbathing. The 2nd level is hardscaped and perfect for large parties or holiday parties, it also gives access to the pool house, which adds to the fun. The 3rd level is where you will find another turf yard area, gorgeous Palm Trees and an inviting pool. The pool was completely redone in 2015 with new pebble tech, new piping, auto water fill system and a Baja step, great for sunbathing and relaxing in the sun! Fully paid solar included, you can run your a/c and pool system as much as you want. While you're outside, don't forget to checkout the partially finished basement, that just adds more possibilities. It has it's own entrance and can be used as an additional bedroom or possibly an ADU (check with the city first). The basement has also been painted and had engineered hardwood installed, along with recessed lighting, ceiling fan and water hookups for washer/dryer or even a bathroom. Extended driveway can easily fit 3 cars and a one car garage add to the appeal of this unique home. Other updates include a new roof, front yard fence and front yard turf. Close to Lemon Avenue Elementary, La Mesa Village Shopping and you cant miss The Eatery just 1 block away! This definitely should be on your list of MUST SEE HOMES!
