Property Description
WHAT WE LOVE: The canyon lot gets your attention. Everything these owners did after moving in is what makes this one different. Tucked onto a quiet North Clairemont cul de sac, this single story home pairs a surprisingly large, private backyard with open canyon views and an interior that has been thoughtfully improved almost from end to end. The remodeled kitchen is the showpiece, with custom cabinetry, pullout pantry storage, stone counters, statement backsplash, floating shelves and warm metallic finishes that give the space some actual personality. Both bathrooms have been updated, including a beautifully finished primary bath, while wide plank LVP flooring and upgraded baseboards carry a clean, cohesive look throughout the home. And this was not just cosmetic. The owners added central heat and AC, replaced the windows, repainted the exterior, installed a newer garage door and fencing, and continued improving the home throughout their ownership. The primary bedroom opens directly to the backyard, where morning light comes across the canyon and the yard creates the kind of indoor outdoor extension that makes 1,006 square feet live considerably bigger than the number suggests. Out back, there is room to actually use the yard: grass, patio space, a substantial gazebo, canyon outlook and direct access from both the kitchen and primary bedroom. Add solar, an attached two car garage, a generous driveway and a central Clairemont location, and this is the increasingly hard to find combination of lot, location and a house where much of the expensive work has already been done. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT...) There is something especially good about a smaller single story home when the square footage has been used well. Three bedrooms give you legitimate flexibility for family, guests or a home office without wasting space on oversized hallways and rooms you rarely use. The updates here were also accumulated over years of ownership rather than rushed together for resale. Central HVAC went in shortly after purchase, the windows followed, then flooring and baseboards, bathrooms, and most recently the kitchen and exterior improvements. It creates a home that feels current while still having some warmth and individuality. And then there is the setting. Jamestown ends in a quiet residential pocket of North Clairemont, while the canyon behind the home gives the backyard an openness you simply cannot manufacture later. Coffee outside in the morning, dogs running the yard, dinner under the gazebo, or just opening the primary slider and letting the light in. That backyard is not extra space. It is part of how this home lives.
