Inside, the home has been thoughTully updated with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The **remodeled kitchen** opens to a separate dining room, perfect for gatherings. The **oversized primary suite** is a true sanctuary, featuring a spa-like bath and a spacious walk-in closet. There’s both a spacious **family room with fireplace** and a separate **living room that overlooks the pool and deck**, giving you plenty of space to unwind. Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms, views of the pond and Mt. Helix, and a fully renovated bathroom, while a second full bathroom downstairs serves the main living areas. The attached finished two-car garage offers convenience, and as a special bonus, the home includes a **finished basement with 343 additional square feet** ideal for a workshop, home office, wine cellar, gym, or creative studio.

    "I have spent a good part of my life in La Mesa, my grandparents settling here in 1957. I live in their house. I graduated from Helix in ‘81, my niece from Grossmont in 2 weeks. Other than getting a little crowded, La Mesa is a centrally located, youthful, and social community, great to raise a family."
