Summary:
Discover your perfect San Diego getaway in La Mesa's charming Windsor Hills! This beautifully appointed home invites you to experience unparalleled comfort, complete with breathtaking, sweeping views of the San Diego skyline, Del Cerro, and Cowles Mountain. 🌄
Whether you're here to relax, entertain, or find inspiration while working remotely, this pet-friendly retreat offers all the space and modern amenities you could wish for. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure your stay is effortless and enjoyable. 💻
Situated in a safe and tranquil neighborhood, you're just a stone's throw from the lively heart of downtown La Mesa and have easy access to everything San Diego has to offer. Your ideal Southern California adventure begins here! 🏄
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 🛏
- 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 2: Another king-size bed awaits, with the same high-end bedding and its own smart TV for late-night lounging.
- 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.
