Mid-Century College Area Classic with Canyon Views and Endless Charm This beautifully preserved two-story mid-century home in College Area West blends original character with thoughtful upgrades. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, two fireplaces, and period details including: tiered ceilings, a built-in phone nook, vintage door hardware, wainscoting in the dining room, and vintage light fixtures on the covered patio. Open the front door and step into your living room that offers sweeping views of Baja Canyon and El Cerrito through a gorgeous, large picture window. Off the living room is the cozy dining room space that has additional windows facing the view and a private patio overlooking the yard and canyon, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine. The kitchen is charming with green walls, white cabinets, and plenty of natural light from the large windows. On the opposite side of the house, you’ll find all 3 bedrooms and both bathrooms. The two secondary bedrooms are good-sized with great natural light. The primary bedroom is a cozy retreat with just the right amount of space for rest and relaxation and contains plenty of closet space and an ensuite bathroom. Both bathrooms were fully remodeled and feature beautiful, tiled showers with glass doors. Additional upgrades include: a new 50-year roof (installed in 2016), owned solar panels with net metering 2.0, upgraded dual-pane windows and new ABS plumbing throughout. This home also boasts one of the rarest features in the area: a fully remodeled walkout basement with a fireplace.You can access this bonus space from inside the home through a door off the living room. It is light, bright, and large with two sliding doors leading to the backyard. This space is perfect for a home office, entertaining, or a cozy home theater setup - the options are limitless. In the basement you’ll find a cellar that has ample storage space, easy access to plumbing and electrical, and the potential to add a bathroom or expand into additional living space. The home has a two-car garage with laundry and access to a HUGE attic, giving this home incredible and versatile storage. Outside, relax in your own private canyon-side oasis with a large backyard, shaded patio, a lush lawn, and mature pollinator-friendly trees and plants. The terraced garden, filled with native plants, fruit trees (lemon, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, and apple), a bird bath and a butterfly garden, creates a tranquil setting for outdoor living and unwinding. Located in a vibrant, tight-knit neighborhood that hosts Flamingo Fridays and the annual El Cerrito Fourth of July Parade, this area is highly walkable, with the Living Room Coffeehouse, Scrimshaw Coffee, various restaurants, Trader Joe’s and San Diego State University just a short walk away. Centrally located, with easy access to freeways and transit, you're connected to all of San Diego while enjoying the benefits of a true community. In 74 years, this home has only had two owners, who lovingly preserved its vintage features, while updating it for modern living. Don’t miss this chance to make it yours!
