Set within Talmadge, a beloved San Diego neighborhood known for its historic architecture and vintage charm, this meticulously maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers 1,148 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space. Both bedrooms are generously sized, while abundant storage throughout the home adds everyday functionality. Wood floors and timeless details preserve the home's character, complemented by central air conditioning, dual paned windows, custom window treatments, a beautifully renovated guest bathroom and more! Behind the scenes, extensive improvements provide the comfort and confidence of a modern home. Updates include a new whole-house water softening and filtration system, a new tankless water heater, crawl-space waterproofing, significant roof enhancements--including an entirely new roof over the garage--and an HVAC system replaced in 2019. Throughout, the home reflects years of thoughtful stewardship, with every improvement carefully considered and completed with exceptional attention to detail. Outside, mature landscaping, wonderful curb appeal, and a quaint backyard create an inviting setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or relaxed evenings. A dedicated off-street parking space is complemented by an original one-car garage, currently configured for laundry and storage. Rich in vintage appeal yet enhanced with meticulous care and modern amenities, this special Talmadge home offers timeless character without sacrificing contemporary comfort.
