The Courtyard

A skylit welcome

Sheltered beneath a wood-beamed trellis crowned with corrugated skylight panels, this enclosed courtyard centers on a tiered pineapple fountain framed by hanging ferns and potted greenery. A concrete patio anchors an intimate dining setting against paneled walls, striking the warm, private tone of a remodeled California ranch.

The Great Room

Under honeyed beams

Vaulted plank ceilings in honey-toned wood run overhead, punctuated by exposed beams and a bladed ceiling fan. Broad wood-framed windows draw daylight across the laminate floors, while the open plan flows effortlessly toward the kitchen beyond.

The Kitchen

Granite and firelight

A granite peninsula with seating for three anchors this chef's kitchen, set beneath a skylight and pendant lighting with crisp white cabinetry and a granite backsplash. Just past a sculptural iron chandelier, the adjoining great room opens to a stone fireplace framed by brick, uniting cooking and gathering under vaulted wood-beam ceilings.

Vaulted and serene

The Primary Suite

Vaulted and serene

The primary suite rises to a vaulted plank ceiling with dual ceiling fans, its creamy walls washed in soft light. A carpeted expanse accommodates both a restful bed and a dedicated workspace, with doorways leading to a walk-in closet and en suite bath.

The Grounds

Half an acre aloft

From above, the single-story ranch spreads across its half-acre hillside lot, with a terraced backyard, fire pit and open patio giving way to layered treetops. The elevated setting frames sweeping views toward the surrounding hills and valley below.

Arrive via a long private driveway to a covered courtyard entry centered on a stone fountain. The grounds are a standout, with custom block retaining walls, dedicated garden beds, and mature fruit and jacaranda trees that lend shade and seasonal color across the expansive 27,007-square-foot parcel.

With all the space and privacy this setting provides, you remain just minutes from downtown La Mesa and its shops, dining, and everyday conveniences. It's a rare combination of remodeled interiors, room to grow outdoors, and a coveted La Mesa location.
