About this home
A rare blend of character, comfort, and garden-centered living, this thoughtfully refreshed single-level home offers bright interior spaces and an exceptional backyard designed for outdoor enjoyment and garden focused landscaping. Inside, natural light pours through wide windows onto original hardwood floors, creating warm, inviting living spaces with clean lines and timeless appeal. The main living area is open and flexible, ideal for both relaxed daily living and easy entertaining. The kitchen brings distinctive personality with curated vintage style, classic cabinetry, generous storage, and iconic black-and-white tile flooring — blending charm with functionality. Adjacent dining space enjoys views toward the greenery, reinforcing the home’s indoor-outdoor connection. Bedrooms are comfortably sized and filled with light, while the updated bath features modern tile work and a glass-enclosed shower for a crisp, move-in-ready finish. What truly sets this property apart is the outdoor environment. The backyard has been intentionally developed into a productive and beautifully layered garden space featuring raised planting beds, mature fruit trees, established landscaping, and an area of turf. Whether your vision is farm-to-table living, weekend gardening, outdoor dining, or simply a private green retreat, this yard delivers both function and lifestyle. The garden landscape is both beautiful and productive, featuring a diverse collection of mature fruit trees including orange, grape, plum, peach, blackberry, avocado, tangerine, apricot, and macadamia nut, along with a dedicated area of native plantings designed to support pollinators and year-round bloom. An expansive covered patio extends the living space outdoors, creating a year-round gathering and entertaining area. The layout supports multiple uses, garden cultivation, play space, pets, and future customization all within a private, usable setting. Attached garage, backyard shed, generous driveway parking complete the property. Just off the kitchen is an additional bonus room with expanded cabinetry and storage that offers flexible use and could easily function as a large laundry room, office, or creative workspace. Positioned on a corner lot and slightly elevated above the street, the home enjoys added presence and privacy. Additional interior storage is thoughtfully incorporated, including dual hallway closets for everyday convenience. A home that offers not just living space, but lifestyle, where indoor comfort meets outdoor abundance. Set in the desirable Allied Gardens neighborhood, and the highly desirable 92120 zip code, this home offers exceptional access to some of San Diego’s best outdoor recreation, including nearby Mission Trails Regional Park, Cowles Mountain, and Lake Murray, with miles of hiking, biking, and walking trails just minutes away. The location is equally convenient for daily living, with quick access to major freeways, Costco, grocery stores, local shopping, neighborhood dining, and essential services, including a hospital just up the street.
