Property description
Welcome to the Enchanted Garden House, a beautifully updated 1940s cottage tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of La Mesa, just moments from the Village. Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern improvements, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence features original architectural details, tongue-and-groove siding, and an inviting open-concept living space designed for today's lifestyle. Recent upgrades include a remodeled kitchen, upgraded electrical system, Tesla charger, mini-split heating and air conditioning system, new flooring, fresh interior paint, custom closet systems, new ceiling fans, and a newly installed front yard fence. The detached shed has been insulated, creating a versatile space ideal for a home office, studio, gym, or workshop. Step outside into a private backyard retreat featuring lush landscaping and multiple outdoor living spaces to enjoy year-round. Relax beneath the covered patio, unwind in the recently installed hot tub, gather around the chimenea, enjoy a meal under the arbor, or simply take in the peaceful garden setting. Designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, the outdoor space offers a true extension of the home. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to La Mesa Village's, The Hills Pub, popular shops, restaurants, farmers market, and community events, while also benefiting from easy access to the 8, 94, and 125 freeways. A rare opportunity to own a character-filled home that perfectly combines vintage charm, modern updates, and exceptional outdoor living.
