Live the Mesa lifestyle! This charming 3bed/1bath home is just a short walk from Shoreline Park and Leadbetter Beach. Newly renovated in 2023 with a fresh new kitchen. This wonderfully light filled home has large windows in all rooms as well as skylights throughout. Lush plantings in the front garden provide privacy and a cozy private retreat environment. Hardwood floors throughout. New large patio off the kitchen is great for summertime BBQs after a day at the beach! The charming flagstone side patio is a great spot for a quiet morning coffee. Lush back garden includes a lawn and a bench tucked amidst tropical plants. Garage with window and skylights includes a new washer and dryer and is great for bikes, surfboards, tools, and more. Fully fenced property is wonderful for privacy, kids, and pets. The highly prolific Meyer Lemon tree, two orange trees, and passion fruit vine provide fruit throughout the year. Located in the desirable Washington School District. Just a short drive to Mesa Shopping Center and Lazy Acres.
