About this home
Set on a peaceful, oversized canyon lot and conveniently located near SDSU, this versatile 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the flexibility to be a primary residence, student rental, or investment opportunity. The inviting floor plan features beautiful wood floors throughout, a cozy fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen open to the dining and living rooms, creating the perfect setting for entertaining while staying connected to the conversation. A true highlight is the expansive 300+ sq. ft. bonus sunroom. Enjoy it as a peaceful, nature-filled retreat, or explore the potential to enclose the windows and create more living area. Abundant built-in cabinets and shelves throughout the home provide exceptional storage and make it easy to stay organized. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet and luxurious bath with a jacuzzi tub. Two of the additional bedrooms have been thoughtfully customized as home offices, but with the right offer, the seller is open to converting them back to traditional bedrooms with closets to meet the buyer’s needs. Additional upgrades include a new HVAC system, tankless water heater, and solar lease pre-paid through 2032. With its peaceful canyon setting on over half an acre, flexible living spaces, abundant storage, and convenient proximity to SDSU, this home offers an exceptional combination of comfort, versatility, and location.
College East, located between San Diego State University and Lake Murray, is a residential and campus-adjacent San Diego neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and canyon-edged streets. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the College Ave & El Cajon Blvd corridor, where taquerias, coffee counters, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks active. Local pillars include the historic Aztec Theatre at SDSU, the open-air Viejas Arena, and the College Area Farmers’ Market. Low-slung houses, small apartment courts, and palms line the flatter blocks, while the edges tilt into brushy canyons and trailheads. Daily rhythms follow the university calendar, with patios and study-friendly cafes shaping the street scene. Parks and the lake add a calm counterpoint to the busier arterials.
