Perched in the scenic hills of El Cajon, 2019 Avenida Penasco offers the kind of privacy and peaceful mountain setting that feels like an escape from everyday life. Set on approximately 1.12 acres near Rancho San Diego, this beautifully upgraded property invites you to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding hills. The single-story main home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and warm, welcoming living spaces enhanced by thoughtful updates throughout. Stainless steel appliances and designer tile accents add style to the kitchen, creating an inviting place to prepare meals, entertain friends, and gather with the people you love. Central air conditioning and forced-air heating provide year-round comfort, while the primary bedroom also features a separate mini-split system for personalized dual-zone temperature control. Above the garage, a studio-style bonus room with a small kitchen and bathroom offers wonderful flexibility. Create a private retreat for guests, a peaceful home office, an art or fitness studio, or additional space tailored to your lifestyle. Step outside and discover a gorgeous backyard made for relaxing, entertaining, and taking in the beautiful natural surroundings. Although much of the expansive property is sloped, the hillside terrain creates exceptional separation and privacy while capturing picturesque mountain views. From quiet mornings overlooking the hills to evenings spent beneath the open sky, this special property offers space, versatility, scenery, and a lifestyle that feels worlds away—yet remains conveniently connected to everything East County has to offer.
