    What's special

    Brick paver pathWarm wood floors
    Whether you are an investor exploring the possibility of adding units or a buyer looking for a home with built-in long-term value, this El Cajon R-3 zoned property delivers on both counts. The property makes a strong first impression. An ornate iron fence with scrollwork lines the street, tall mature palms tower above drought-tolerant landscaping, and a long covered front porch with a swing invites you to slow down before you even step inside. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and warm wood floors carry through the main living areas. A solid wood door with oval leaded glass opens to the entry, and a graceful arched doorway with hand-forged metalwork connects the formal living room to a second family space. Multiple bedrooms include a bright primary with oversized windows and a chandelier, plus a large private suite with French doors and direct outside access, flexible for extended family or future rental possibilities. The backyard is a standout. A brick paver path winds past mature palms, a sago palm, succulents, a tiered fountain, and garden sculptures to reach a classic white gazebo framed beneath a canopy of mature fruit trees. A covered tile patio provides shaded outdoor living and dining space. The yard has a lush, whimsical character that takes time to build. Buyers are encouraged to verify R-3 zoning and explore ADU or additional unit potential directly with the city.
