Welcome to 12543 Via Diego — Space, Views & Endless Potential Tucked into one of Lakeside’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,012 square feet of flexible living space on an expansive lot that truly sets it apart. Inside, the kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a range hood, flowing naturally into the dining and living areas — a layout built for everyday living and easy entertaining. All four bedrooms are generously sized, and tucked on the second floor is a charming loft nook — just the right size for a reading corner, a quiet escape, or a cozy homework spot. The real showstopper? Step outside and the lot opens up into something special. Currently set up as a kids’ paradise, the generous outdoor space offers serious potential — think pool, BBQ entertainment area, or your own backyard oasis. A dedicated dog run on the side yard is a bonus pet owners will love. And framing it all are breathtaking views of the Cuyamaca Mountains, the kind of backdrop you simply can’t manufacture. Lakeside’s charm keeps you close to shopping, dining, and commuter routes while feeling a world away from the bustle. Opportunities like this — with the lot size, the views, and the upside — don’t come around often.
