"The White Picket Fence Point Loma Home with the Backyard Everyone Wants!" WHAT WE LOVE: Point Loma is one of those San Diego neighborhoods people always have their eye on, sometimes for years, waiting for the right home to show up. And when it finally does, it usually comes with a compromise. The location is great but the house needs work. Or, the house is dialed but the yard is lacking. THIS ONE THREADS THE NEEDLE! Set behind a classic white picket fence with real curb appeal, green lawn, rose bushes, and mid-century character, the home immediately delivers that warm “this is the one” feeling the moment you walk up. Step inside and you realize the hard work has already been done. The interior has been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes, a remodeled kitchen, upgraded bathrooms, and a layout that feels clean, comfortable, and move-in ready. Then the backyard takes it over the top. Outdoor kitchen with built in BBQ and bar seating under a custom, timber wood pergola, elevated composite deck with mounted TV for evenings outside, turf, mature palms, and a built-in spa that turns the entire space into your own private retreat. In a neighborhood where location alone is often the main selling point, finding a home that already has this level of improvement inside and out is rare. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT…): The approach sets the tone immediately. A welcoming white picket fence frames the front yard with green lawn, rose bushes, and mid-century architectural character that feels perfectly at home in this classic Point Loma neighborhood. A custom stamped concrete driveway leads to the property while dual pane windows and a beautiful period style wood front door create a warm first impression. Inside, the home blends original charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Wood look tile flooring runs through the main living areas, oversized baseboards give the home a clean finished look, and natural light pours through the large picture window in the living room. The remodeled kitchen anchors the center of the home with quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that makes the space both functional and social. An added laundry and utility room creates extra convenience rarely found in homes of this era. Down the hallway are multiple bedrooms that provide flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. The hall bathroom has been tastefully updated with quartz counters, custom vanity, and modern tile work. The primary suite sits privately toward the rear of the home and opens directly to the backyard through patio doors. The ensuite bathroom has been fully remodeled with dual sink vanity, quartz counters, updated cabinetry, custom shower with rain feature and multi spray system, generous closet, and a separate water closet for additional privacy. Then the backyard becomes the centerpiece of the property. Designed for true San Diego outdoor living, the yard is fully built for entertaining. A custom outdoor kitchen with built in barbecue and bar seating sits under its own covered pergola built with wood timbers, creating the perfect place to gather with friends and family. Just beyond it, an elevated composite deck with mounted television overlooks the landscape lit yard and provides an ideal lounge space for relaxing evenings. The lower yard features turf for low maintenance greenery, a built-in spa for unwinding, mature palm trees, and beautifully defined landscaping throughout. A separate side area offers additional storage and includes a shed. At the back of the property sits a detached two car garage currently used for storage and workshop space, offering flexibility for parking, hobbies, or potential future use depending on the next owner’s vision. And of course, the location is the final piece that makes this home special. Point Loma is one of San Diego’s most iconic coastal communities known for its village feel, harbor views, nearby beaches, and close proximity to Liberty Station, Shelter Island, Sunset Cliffs, and the many restaurants, coffee shops, and markets that give the area its unmistakable character. Homes in this location rarely combine charm, upgrades, and a fully built backyard like this. This one does.
