Investor and flipper opportunity with views and upside of adding more units in the heart of La Mesa. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home at 7994 El Capitan Drive offers 1,145 square feet of living space on a generous 6,970 square foot lot with mountain views from a quiet residential setting. This home needs some love and is priced to reflect that, making it an ideal candidate for a flip, rental conversion, or long-term hold. The lot size and layout offer strong potential to add both an ADU and a JADU, subject to City of La Mesa zoning and permit approval, opening the door to multiple income streams or a multi-generational living setup on one property. Located close to Grossmont Center, downtown La Mesa's shops and restaurants, and with convenient freeway access via I 8 and CA 125, this is a rare chance to acquire a property with real upside in an appreciating San Diego County submarket. Bring your contractor and your vision.
