Retro elegance and modern comforts blend seamlessly in this architectural gem! Nestled in the highly sought-after Del Cerro neighborhood, this meticulously maintained single-level residence was originally designed by a Principal of Innis Tennebaum Architects, with the original plans available at the property.  This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owner with stunning hardwood flooring throughout, retextured walls, and new doors and hardware, creating a fresh and modern feel. The spacious living room features a cozy fireplace perfect for chilly evenings. The dining and family room combination offers a flexible layout, while the well-appointed kitchen includes a charming breakfast area and ample cabinet space.  Step outside to a low-maintenance backyard designed for both relaxation and entertainment. The private spa provides the perfect retreat, while the new retaining walls in both the front and back yards, along with partially new fencing, enhance privacy and curb appeal. For those looking to create the ultimate outdoor kitchen and entertainment area, all essential connections have already been installed-including 220V for instant hot water, 120V for lighting and power, CAT6 wiring, speaker wiring, a sanitary drain and sump pump, as well as water connection, and stormwater drainage.  Located just moments from the highly rated Hearst Elementary School, shopping, dining, and with easy freeway access, this home is also conveniently close to San Diego State University.  Don't miss this opportunity to own a beautifully updated, architecturally designed home in one of San Diego's most desirable communities-schedule your showing today!
