This is the Serra Mesa home that feels different the moment you walk in. Set on a fully utilized 5,800 sq. ft. lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,398 sq. ft. with a versatile flex room and an expansive covered outdoor living area that make the home live much larger than expected. Inside, original hardwood floors bring warmth and character, while thoughtful updates made throughout the owners’ years here create the ideal balance of charm and modern comfort. Step outside and the difference becomes even more apparent: a private, fully landscaped backyard filled with personality—not the typical concrete-and-fence yard—and designed to truly enjoy San Diego’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This home has been genuinely loved, maintained and improved over time, not simply renovated for resale. Recently painted on the exterior, professionally cleaned and freshly landscaped, it is ready for its next chapter. Conveniently located in central Serra Mesa with quick access to I-805, Mission Valley and Kearny Mesa, this is a rare combination of location, usable space, privacy and character. Some homes photograph well. This one is even better in person—schedule your private tour and come experience it for yourself.⁢​‌⁠⁣‍
