Summary:
Welcome to your serene escape in La Mesa’s Windsor Hills. This beautifully appointed, pet-friendly home offers sweeping views of downtown San Diego, Del Cerro and Cowles Mountain, modern amenities, and all the space you need to unwind, entertain, or work remotely. Nestled in a quiet, safe neighborhood just minutes from downtown La Mesa and close to all San Diego has to offer, every inch of this home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience.

The Space:
🏡 The Home
Step inside to a bright, airy open-concept layout where large windows draw your eyes immediately to the jaw-dropping views of San Diego. The living room features a plush sectional sofa, smart TV, and a grand piano — perfect for quiet evenings or entertaining. Outside, there are three separate and unique spaces; the backyard oasis, a quiet porch under a 70 yr old Plumeria Tree, and a private balcony with cushioned seating just off the living room offers the perfect perch to watch the colors change across the hills as the sun sets over San Diego.

🍳 Kitchen With a View
The kitchen is a dream come true for anyone who loves to cook or entertain. You’ll find stainless steel appliances throughout, including a massive refrigerator and freezer, gas oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a Keurig Duo coffee maker for morning rituals. A movable butcher block island provides extra prep space, and the view from the kitchen is so stunning, doing dishes won’t even feel like a chore.

🌿 Backyard Oasis
Step into your private backyard — a tranquil space with panoramic views of San Diego and La Mesa. Dine al fresco at the outdoor dining table, grill up something delicious on the BBQ, then gather around the fire pit as the café lights above create a warm evening ambiance. The large, lush lawn and thoughtful landscaping make it perfect for pets, play, or a peaceful spot for morning coffee.

🛏 Bedrooms & Office Spaces
Each of the three bedrooms was designed with relaxation in mind.

Primary Bedroom: Features a king-size bed with soft cotton linens, hotel-style pillows, a cozy down duvet, and a smart TV. French doors lead directly into the home office, reading nook or exercise room for a productive setup.

Bedroom 3: A cozy space with a queen bed and a dedicated work-from-home setup including a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and laser printer — ideal for digital nomads or remote workers.

In addition to the dedicated office space, you'll find two more desks throughout the home, making it easy for multiple people to work or study without crowding, and a twin size double tall air mattress is available for guest use as well.
