About This Home
75k in recent upgrades! Gated community, 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo that checks all the boxes. Finished one-car garage plus and additional oversized covered parking space, in-unit laundry, all within a small 4-unit complex. Feels much larger. Fully remodeled in 2023, this downstairs entry level unit features new flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and fresh paint throughout. The open layout feels even more spacious than the square footage suggests, and the downstairs garage adds convenience and security. Located near downtown El Cajon with quick freeway access, this is a rare opportunity to own a stylish, move-in-ready home in a quiet, well-maintained community.
