About this home
Welcome to Serra Mesa, one of the original suburbs of central San Diego. This charming and spacious single-level home has been remodeled from the original floorplan and offers functional upgrades in the most important areas. Brand-new A/C system installed summer 2026, roof installed 2013, new luxury plank vinyl and carpet installed in 2025. The home has a classic layout, with a well-maintained kitchen, stainless-steel appliances, solid wood cabinetry, and generous counter space. The eat-in breakfast bar flows into the open living room, highlighted by a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The adjacent lounge is stylish and inviting, providing flexible living space. All three bedrooms are located off the main hallway, beginning with the spacious primary suite. The expanded floorplan includes a reading nook/office as you enter the suite, a large walk-in closet, and dual-pane windows overlooking the backyard. The two additional guest bedrooms are located along the hallway, with a full guest bathroom at the end. Additional features include a spacious two-car detached garage with access to the backyard, a tool bench, a water softener, and an expansive backyard with room for developing your perfect outdoor living area.
Serra Mesa, located between Mission Valley and Kearny Mesa, is a residential and centrally located San Diego neighborhood with canyon edges and mid-century ranch streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sandrock Road and Murray Ridge Road corridor, where local eateries, small storefronts, and everyday errands cluster in a low-key strip-mall rhythm. Serra Mesa Recreation Center anchors community routines with courts, fields, and a pool beside open green space. Housing leans toward single-story homes with tidy yards, plus pockets of apartments along major arterials. Tecolote Canyon’s trails and views shape the outdoor cadence, while nearby stadium energy spills in on event days.
