First time on the market since 1952! This 4 bed, 2 bath home with a basement is at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quaint La Mesa neighborhood. Newly refinished original hardwood floors, brand-new carpet, new kitchen flooring and fresh interior and exterior paint. One of the home's standout features is the vintage pink tile bathroom, preserved to showcase its authentic mid-century charm. The basement includes a sink and is conveniently located near existing plumbing, offering potential for a workshop, hobby space, extra storage, or ADU conversion -buyer to verify-. Additional recent improvements include replacement of the main sewer line beneath the home (where accesable) and installation of a new sewer liner from the foundation to the property line clean-out. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, a spacious backyard ready for your personal touch, and a convenient location within walking distance to Better Buzz Coffee, local restaurants, shopping, and the La Mesa Village . This is a rare opportunity to own a home that has been loved by generations and is ready to welcome its next owners.
