    What's special

    Casa De Oro-Mt Helix Charmer with Views!! Welcome to your new home! This 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom split-level residence is a true entertainer's dream. Seamless indoor/outdoor living with breathtaking panoramic views of the La Mesa hills from not 1, but 2 expansive decks. Whether you're hosting family and friends or enjoying a quiet evening, you'll love the outdoor space including a terraced garden with fruit and flowering trees and an additional sitting area. Inside, this light and bright home features two generous living areas. The main living space flows effortlessly from the kitchen and showcases a rustic fireplace, complemented by a cozy wood beam ceiling. The formal dining room sets the stage for memorable dinner parties, while central AC, gas heat, and dual-pane windows provide year-round comfort. Plus, with OWNED solar panels, your utility costs stay low. As an added benefit, the roof was replaced in 2015. Roof warranty is transferrable (50-year warranty from installation date). The main level also includes a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom with a convenient laundry area. The kitchen is cheery and bright with updated counters, ample cabinet space, stainless steel appliances and a small dine in area. The huge walk in pantry is a special and rare find. Downstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms, one with its own half bathroom and a separate entrance to the backyard—perfect for creating a private guest suite or possibly generating rental income. The home also offers a tandem 4-car garage with ample storage space, plus additional storage in the basement. Tucked away on a quiet street, this home offers the best of both worlds: a private, tranquil setting that’s still centrally located. Within a 5-mile radius, you’ll find five parks, shopping, and dining options. Plus, you're just a short drive from downtown La Mesa with easy access to the 94, 125, and 8 freeways for hassle-free commuting. This home combines modern amenities with charming features, making it an ideal place to create lasting memories.
