Thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained, 4138 Massachusetts Avenue blends the character of a classic La Mesa home with the comfort and convenience of modern living. Located just minutes from Downtown La Mesa, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been extensively improved since 2022 with thoughtful updates throughout. Original hardwood floors have been restored throughout and extended into the kitchen, where quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, updated fixtures, and newer appliances create a warm and functional space. The primary bathroom has been completely remodeled, while additional improvements include mini-split heating and air conditioning, fresh interior paint, updated lighting and ceiling fans, new window coverings, a newer water heater, and updated exterior doors. Outside, enjoy redesigned front and back yards with updated landscaping, irrigation, drainage improvements, fresh turf, mature trees, and an expanded deck with pergola, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A finished two-car garage features epoxy flooring, updated electrical, built-in storage, and a newer garage door, while alley access provides additional off-street parking. Conveniently located near Downtown La Mesa's restaurants, coffee shops, farmers market, parks, the Joan Kroc Center, and major freeways. An extensive list of improvements completed between 2022 and 2026 is available.
