Rare and desirable ranch home in a beloved La Mesa neighborhood! This 3BR/2BA, 1,692 sq ft home is light, bright, and move-in ready with fresh paint and new flooring throughout. Both living spaces open right up to the backyard through sliding doors - the second is a flex space just waiting to become a home office, playroom, rec room, or whatever you can dream up. Pour a cup of coffee and enjoy the view from the breakfast nook's picture window, or cozy up by one of two fireplaces in the dining area. The primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet, and central AC keeps things comfortable year-round. Out back, a large shaded patio and generous lot with mountain views are ready for you to make your own. Add in a finished garage, great curb appeal, and top-rated schools, plus a location close to Lake Murray, parks, shopping, and freeway access - homes like this don't come around often!
