Don’t blink, because your chance is finally here and you don’t want to miss it! Located in one of Mid-City San Diego’s favorite neighborhoods, El Cerrito, AND on arguably the best street, here is a rare opportunity to restore a Spanish home that still twinkles details of yesteryear! Yes, that was a long sentence, but oooh so worth it! Really, though, the hidden pot of gold might just be the massive garage sitting right on the alley, not to mention the extensive adjacent space for expansion! If you are a car enthusiast, you owe it to yourself to check out this mechanic’s paradise. El Cerrito Dr is a picture-perfect storybook street, full of beautiful trees, diverse architecture and manicured yards. No question, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. *See Supplement for Details.* Ok, so we started with the garage, but let’s really get serious. There is so much to this fantastic opportunity. The original Spanish home has sweet details like warm hardwood floors yearning for restoration. The living room lathe and plaster walls are smartly framed with a beautiful fireplace and high coved ceilings. It flows sweetly into a cute formal dining room, which is just the perfect setting for that intimate dinner with friends. The two cute bedrooms are bright and also feature hardwood floors. There is a vintage tile bath between the bedrooms that has a separate tub and shower. The kitchen has been upgraded over the years and has a delightful little breakfast bar and direct access to the back deck area. It also leads directly to a workshop area, which has been expanded into the original garage. This could be another excellent space for car enthusiasts, or use it for any number of arts and crafts projects or office space. When you enter the huge backyard, you will love the vast open spaces and multiple areas. Perhaps restore the existing pond or expand the spacious outdoor deck. Seriously, your imagination can soar with no restrictions and only possibilities. The main house could be vastly expanded or perhaps a classic guest home or ADU might be added. There is also a giant storage container near the garage, which is the perfect satellite station for all garage creations. Whether you want rambling gardens, a pool and spa, or an expanded hacienda, this is the perfect property to begin creating the dream.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
