Way back in 1915, when this early La Mesa property was originally built, owners must have chosen the nearly 1/2 acre lot for its tropical lushness & dramatic mountain views! Now fully remodeled with approx. 2,000 s.f. of added new construction, this elegant home at end of long, gated private drive offers chic style, dynamic views from all major rooms & glorious deck + open-floor layout where rooms flow from one to the next. Numerous spots to entertain: bamboo glen, sheer-covered deck, game-room garage... Original 1000 s.f. ranch-style home remodeled by previous owner. In 2011, current owners added approx 2000 s.f. of new construction: great room plus second story. Improvements include hardwood floors, dual pane windows, new bathrooms, new roof on entire house & garage, new deck, low-volt lights, full-size laundry closet in upstairs hall, sliding gate at driveway. Additional laundry hook-ups + full bath in detached garage/gameroom. Yard includes all kinds of nooks and crannies, so many palm trees it feels like a palm-tree nursery, numerous fruit-bearing trees and fire pit in the "hidden" bamboo glen!.
