"Beamed Ceilings, Remodeled Kitchen + Tiered Backyard Living in a Prime La Mesa Pocket" WHAT WE LOVE: This is the kind of La Mesa home buyers wait for. Elevated from the street with low water landscaping, interlocking stone and brick hardscape, and classic plantation shutters, the curb appeal hits immediately. Inside, original small plank oak floors run through light filled living and dining spaces with fresh paint and recessed lighting. The remodeled kitchen features updated countertops, stainless appliances, updated cabinetry, and opens directly from the bar into a dramatic family room with exposed wood beams, tongue and groove ceiling detail, and a brick fireplace that anchors the space. Three bedrooms, an oversized updated bathroom with floor to ceiling tiled shower, and an attached one car garage complete the interior. Step outside to a covered patio with more custom brickwork, tiered landscaping, mature trees, privacy fencing, and an upper yard space ready for your vision. Detached living. Desirable pocket. Real backyard. The total package. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT...): 8741 Crockett Street blends preserved mid-century character with meaningful upgrades. Dual pane divided light windows allow natural light to fill the home, while plantation shutters provide both charm and function. The kitchen offers a clean, updated feel with stainless steel range, microwave, and dishwasher, breakfast bar lighting, and easy flow into the family room, making everyday living and entertaining seamless. The exposed beam ceiling and fireplace create a warm focal point rarely found at this price point. The oversized bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with modern vanity, undermount sinks, updated fixtures, tiled shower surround, and linen storage. Two of the three bedrooms maintain the integrity of the original oak flooring and include closet space and ceiling fans. The backyard offers multiple usable levels. A covered patio extends the living space outdoors, while the raised, landscaped tiers and upper yard provide flexibility for garden, play, pets, or future customization. Privacy fencing and mature trees frame the lot. Located in a well established residential pocket of La Mesa with convenient access to parks, shopping, dining, and commuter routes, this home delivers both lifestyle and long term value.
