Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the far west end of University Heights, this single-level 1961 mid-century ranch offers expansive views, a 17,000 sq ft canyon lot, preserved period character and thoughtful updates to major systems. Built by an engineer and owned since 2002 by its second owner, also an engineer, the 3BR/2BA, approx. 1,453 sq ft home retains birch kitchen cabinetry, coordinating dining-room paneling, brass hardware, vintage bathroom tile and many original light fixtures. The living room features immersive views, a brick fireplace and sliding doors to a covered balcony also accessed from the adjoining dining room. The kitchen was refreshed in 2024 with Kashmir Cream granite counters and backsplash, new sink, GE radiant cooktop, EKON hood and Bosch dishwasher; side-by-side laundry hookups are just off the kitchen. Recent improvements include a new 3-ton Trane heat-pump HVAC system with new ductwork and Nest thermostat, COREtec Grande Petronas Oak LVP flooring, and epoxy lining of sewer and drainage lines. Additional upgrades include owned solar and a 200-amp electrical service. An attached 2-car garage plus a separate approx. 400 sq ft, 2-room workshop/office beneath the home with direct lower-yard access offers exceptional flexibility and future ADU potential to explore. Ideally positioned between University Heights and Hillcrest, with dining, shopping and easy access to downtown, Coronado, beaches, Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo.
