About This Property

Adorable, 1940s bungalow/cottage features hardwood floors thru-out, charming covered porch & completely private backyard with patio for outdoor BBQs & entertaining. The detached, open-beamed & raftered, two-car garage has been converted to a full-blown artist studio with electrical power. Excellent space for having fun, being creative, office or working out - too cool to go back to being a ho-hum garage. Property is fully fenced and gated with plenty of room for vehicles. Super close to La Mesa Village! Neighborhoods: La Mesa Architectural Style:  Craftsman/Bungalow View:  Craftsman/Bungalow Equipment:  Range/Oven Other Fees: 0 Sewer:  Sewer Connected Topography: LL
