A rare opportunity to own .75 acres in one of La Mesa's most sought-after neighborhoods! This unique offering includes two legal parcels (APN 491-250-04-00 & APN 491-250-03-00) being sold together, creating endless possibilities for the next owner. The property features a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,428 square feet, original hardwood floors, central heating and air conditioning (approximately 3 years old), a fully fenced yard with dual entries onto the property, one with an automatic gated entrance, and a peaceful, private setting. While the home offers solid bones, it is ready for updating, making it the perfect opportunity to renovate, expand, or create your dream estate. The adjoining vacant parcel has its own APN and water meter, offering exceptional long-term value and future potential. Recorded deeds identify the vacant parcel as a separate legal parcel, and buyers are encouraged to investigate potential development opportunities with the County of San Diego to satisfy themselves regarding future use. Whether you're looking for a private family compound, additional outdoor space, investment potential, or room to create something truly special, opportunities like this are rarely available. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, parks, highly rated schools, and freeway access while maintaining the privacy and character that make the Fuerte Drive area so desirable.
