Welcome to Julian, CA! San Diego County's adorably quaint mountain town. Among the beautiful landscape, wildlife, and small town feel, you'd never guess you're barely over an hour's drive from Downtown San Diego, the airport, and even the beach.This property sits on 5.5 gated and fenced acres at the end of a private lane, surrounded by open space and rolling pastures. It's structurally sound and comfortable, but it does need TLC and could be a great project for a homeowner looking to be inspired by the natural beauty around them every day. Built in 1982 the main house is 2,182 sqft.w/ 3 BR & 2 BA. Some photos have been virtually staged. Pls see supplem Built in 1982, the main house is 2,182 sqft. with 3 BR and 2 BA. The primary bedroom suite has a walk-in closet and two built-in wardrobes for ample storage. The ensuite bathroom has potential to be a tranquil retreat. On the other side of the split floor plan are the secondary bedrooms and second full bathroom. One of the bedrooms trades a closet for a charming brick fireplace, making it a perfect guest room or home office. The kitchen is perfectly functional but wanting for some modern cosmetic updates. On one side of the kitchen is a cozy family room with a wood burning stove. On the other side are an open concept dining area and second living space. Sliding doors lead out to the spacious deck. Just steps away from the home there is a 700 sqft. structure built in 1987. Inside are two "bunk rooms," both of which are very spacious with their own wood burning fireplaces and private bathrooms. There are endless uses for this interesting space!  The rest of the 5.5 acres offers a pool and attached spa, seasonal stream and pond (which help with replenishing the water table), fruit trees (apple, pear, apricot and grape), and a 4 stall barn with attached storage workshop area. In addition to the private well and septic, there is a large above ground water storage tank with fire department rated hook-up for emergency water and fire situations.  Some of Julian's best restaurants and attractions are walking distance from this property. Downtown historical Julian is just a 10 minute drive from this home with even more places to eat, shop, and make memories! *Some of the provided photos have been virtually staged to give a better idea of room size and potential.
