Large steel sash casement windows with new screens and shades flood the space with natural light and offer stunning views of Mt. Helix Park. Both bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open directly to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Custom Elfa closet systems add a touch of luxury and organization. The fully remodeled bathrooms complete the interior updates.

    "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."
