Property Description

This is a true fixer-upper being sold in its present condition. Buyers with vision will appreciate the opportunity to restore, renovate, and transform this unique property into a remarkable home in one of San Diego's most sought-after neighborhoods. Nestled in the highly desirable University City community, this canyon-side property presents an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special. Originally designed with a mid-century modern footprint, the home was thoughtfully expanded over the years to include additional living space and a second-story addition, creating a versatile floor plan with endless possibilities for renovation and reconfiguration. The home's location along the canyon provides refreshing coastal breezes and a peaceful setting rarely found in such a central San Diego location. Original architectural elements—including exposed beam ceilings, distinctive brickwork, expansive windows, skylights, and mid-century-inspired lines—offer a strong foundation for those looking to restore its character while incorporating today's modern design. Inside, the spacious kitchen features beamed ceilings and offers ample room to create a stunning chef's kitchen. Adjacent is a generous living room with a fireplace and abundant natural light. The main level also includes multiple bedrooms, including a primary suite at the rear of the home, along with flexible office and bonus spaces that could easily accommodate today's work-from-home lifestyle. The second-story addition offers even more versatility with a spacious room and private balcony overlooking the surrounding neighborhood and canyon. Whether envisioned as an additional bedroom, home office, game room, studio, or retreat, the possibilities are extensive. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage, generous driveway parking, large windows throughout, and an abundance of natural light.
