A rare combination of character, substantial private outdoor space, flexible living areas and thoughtful improvements in the heart of South Park. The main level features two traditional bedrooms, an updated kitchen and a full bath with a charming refinished clawfoot tub. Upstairs, a finished flex space creates a private retreat with its own highly functional bathroom featuring a shower, toilet and sink. This separation adds meaningful versatility for guests, a home office, studio or optional sleeping area, allowing the upstairs space to function independently from the main-level bedrooms and bath. The property has benefited from significant improvements and continued investment over the years. The kitchen was remodeled with updated cabinetry, sink and countertops, along with updated lighting and electrical. Additional improvements include replacement living room and kitchen windows, flooring, ceiling fans, upstairs flooring and stair carpeting, an updated upstairs shower area, bathroom fixtures, window treatments and numerous other interior enhancements. Important infrastructure improvements include installation of a new sewer main beneath the raised foundation extending to the City line cleanout, along with plumbing and gas-line work. More recent improvements include a replaced water heater, newer LG refrigerator, LG washer and dryer, smoke/carbon monoxide detector, security door and replacement garage-door springs and hardware. See Seller Disclosures and improvement documentation for additional information, dates and details. The outdoor spaces are a standout feature. A park-like front yard welcomes you with mature landscaping, lawn and a beautiful shade tree. The expansive backyard provides exceptional room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, pets or simply enjoying San Diego’s year-round climate. Improvements include a Trex deck, landscaping, sod and planting, decomposed-granite areas, cement work and a redwood gate. A detached two-car garage is positioned at the rear of the property, an especially appealing feature given the size and configuration of the lot. Its location may offer intriguing possibilities for a future ADU or garage conversion while potentially preserving driveway access and additional off-street parking. The lot configuration may also provide flexibility for future parking or garage solutions in conjunction with redevelopment. R-2 Minor zoning adds another layer of opportunity for buyers interested in exploring the property’s future potential. Buyer to independently investigate zoning, setbacks, parking requirements, ADU or garage conversion feasibility, additional-unit potential, permits, use of the upstairs flex space and all development possibilities with the City of San Diego and appropriate professionals. No representation is made regarding approval or feasibility of any future development or use. All of this comes with the lifestyle that makes South Park so desirable: restaurants, coffee shops, neighborhood businesses and parks close at hand. It is an increasingly difficult combination to find—meaningful private outdoor space, off-street parking, a flexible floor plan and intriguing future possibilities without sacrificing the walkability and neighborhood character buyers come to South Park to enjoy.

Every part of this property has been thoughtfully utilized, creating a home that feels far more expansive than its footprint suggests.
