    5198 Bocaw Pl isn’t just a property, it's a home with a backyard worth never leaving. The garage holds a PRX Performance fold-away power rack, Tonal system, full set of dumbbells, medicine balls, plyo box, and fold-away bench. Minutes from SDSU, freeways, dining, and shopping. The buyers who find this home are those who toured the $2 million properties and walked away asking: beautiful, but where would I actually live? The answer is here. No rear neighbors, just the stillness, and everything built around it. A solar-heated pool anchors the space, with the deck and concrete patio flowing as one continuous level around it. A custom gazebo bar with reclaimed wood and iron barstools, a covered spa with full hot tub, a fire pit lounge overlooking the canyon, and a pergola-covered dining space strung with Edison lights make this one of the more complete outdoor entertaining setups you will find at any price in San Diego. A private botanical greenhouse, lit and fully planted, sits at the edge of the deck. Automated lighting and irrigation run everything front and back with no effort required. Inside, the kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, herringbone tile backsplash, a professional-grade range, quartz island with farmhouse sink, and Samsung stainless steel appliances throughout. Original hardwood floors. Thermally insulated windows and sliders keep the home quiet and full of natural light. Custom closet systems in every bedroom. Central air and heating. Updated electrical and plumbing. The garage holds a PRX Performance fold-away power rack, Tonal system, full set of dumbbells, medicine balls, plyo box, and fold-away bench. Everything stores against the wall when you need the parking spot back. Minutes from SDSU, freeways, dining, and shopping. The buyers who find this home are those who toured the $2 million properties and walked away asking: beautiful, but where would I actually live? The answer is here, on a canyon, with a backyard worth never leaving and summers that will be remembered for a long time.
