Description

Solar was added last year along with a Wall Battery Unit, under the Net Energy Metering 2.0 (NEM 2.0). Solar was fully paid for, so we can have the energy cost covered based on usage.

Last year, we installed four Minisplit AC units, one for each bedroom and one in the living room/ Dining Room, which cost $15,000. The Minisplit system cools and heats the home, individually at all four locations or all four at once.

We left the gas furnace in the hallway as a backup heater, but we may remove it based on feedback.

We replaced the tile in the kitchen and added quartz countertops on the cabinets.

The front yard has three large trees for shade and gravel for low maintenance.
The backyard has grass and a nice-sized dry storage area in the back with its own gate. This property and the home to the east both share an 8-foot easement, which allows for additional storage.

The detached garage had the floor redone with epoxy, and two cars can be parked in it.

Rental price is negotiable, we are not selling and are looking for long-term renters to utilize it as their home.

IMPORTANT
With your response, please include the following four answers:

1. When is your desired move-in date?
2. What is the total/combined income of all occupants?
3. How many adults plan on residing here and or being on the lease?
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 04, 2025

    "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."
