Turn-Key Mid-Century Charm with Private Orchard & Prime ADU Lot in Lemon Grove Welcome to 1749 Elroy Dr, a meticulously updated mid-century home sitting on a flat, usable 8,500+ sq. ft. lot in the heart of Lemon Grove. Built in 1951, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence offers the perfect blend of classic character and over $50k in recent high-ticket improvements, ensuring absolute peace of mind for the next owner. The heavy lifting has already been done. In 2025, the home received a complete roof replacement and a new refrigerator. The climate control was revolutionized in 2024 with the removal of the old gas heater and installation of a high-efficiency 3-Zone Mini-Split System, providing customizable AC and heat. Structurally, the home is solid, with foundation updates and strapping completed in 2024. Includes a newer washer/dryer set (2023). The true value lies in the land. The expansive backyard is a rare find, widening from 59 feet in the front to 82 feet in the rear, offering optimized dimensions and side access for a future Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The site is already prepped with professionally installed gutters (2023). Currently, the outdoor space serves as a private sanctuary featuring a vibrant orchard of mature Avocado, Lemon, Mandarin, and Key Lime trees, shaded by majestic Silk Floss, Olive, and Sycamore trees. whether you are looking for a move-in ready home or a property with significant development upside, 1749 Elroy Dr is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
