Welcome to this beautiful La Mesa home, uniquely situated on two parcels at the end of a quiet cul de sac and just a 6-minute walk to La Mesa's bustling downtown! A generous driveway offers parking for 10-15 vehicles with a separate 4-car garage. Step into your formal entryway with beautiful wood-beamed ceilings and saltillo tile floors. This home's eclectic style pulls from all the best interior design genres to blend seamlessly into a wonderful curated experience. Off the entryway, the family room is drenched in natural lighting pouring in from all sides from multiple new oversized windows throughout. Wood beam ceilings, original refinished wood floors, and a gas fireplace add to the charm and coziness of the room. A newly remodeled kitchen has plenty of counter space for entertaining, loads of storage options, and newer appliances for peace of mind. A small breakfast room or optional office space is off the kitchen while a formal dining room is on the opposite end of the kitchen with expansive windows capturing the elevated city views. Step out onto your beautifully appointed patio to relax and entertain from sun up to sun down. Shared on this same floor are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom offers wood-beamed ceilings again as well as a large-sized closet. Head downstairs and you will find a secondary living room with an attached bathroom, a large oversized 3rd bedroom as well as a dedicated laundry room and flex space currently used as a gym. This floor would make for a wonderful primary retreat with some changes OR as a completely separate unit. The home's grounds have been painstakingly redone to offer full usage of the extensive property. Paver driveway, retaining walls, outdoor lighting, artificial turf, and low-water landscaping have all been done within the past year. Also in the past 4 years, the home has had all-new roofing, painted inside and out, sewer lining, electrical upgrades, water filtration, dual pane windows, HVAC system, and appliances. Solar is fully paid for as well!

Kristina Hennessy2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our estate planner referred us to Steve Sakofsky to assist me in selling my property that I inherited.Steve is a wonderful realtor and a super nice and helpful person. He definitely went the extra mile when helping sell my property, especially since I was out of state. I recommend him highly and would give him 10 stars if google would allow it. You can't go wrong with Steve at Sun Trust Homes! Behzad Norouzi2024-05-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven has helped my both buy a new home and sell my old home. During both the sale, and the purchase, he always kept me informed about everything and helped me make the best decisions possible. I am very happy with the outcomes and would be happy to have him help me again in the future Steve W2024-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are likely a lot of “good” realtors out there, but I would say Steven is one of the best at representing a buyer in the sales process. He was very proactive in addressing issues that came up throughout the purchase and helped resolved concerns raised during the inspection. I would highly recommend him for anyone buying or selling property in San Diego county. Hyun Kim2024-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have known Steve for about 20 yr, he is very knowledgeable, readily available with any questions and concerns, and reassuring. He has helped me sell my old home and find my new wonderful home, very helpful with renovation of new home, had many great ideas for home improvement. Would highly recommend him.

Steve was referred to me by my financial planner and he did an outstanding service for me… he helped me with a mortgage refinance and additionally had the foresight to get me a HELOC as well. I wish I had met Steve years earlier, he’s much more better than an online broker. Thanks Steve for all of your help!! pat loeser2023-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This transaction with Steven was professional and expedient. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and colleagues. Anne Radcliffe2023-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven Sakofsky was referred by a financial planning colleague of mine in 2010 to negotiate the purchase of my forever beach home in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Since then, he has assisted in multiple refinance transactions for me, the sale of my parents’ home and cash out loans for a close relative. Always responsive and very knowledgeable.

For my home mortgage refinancing, I was referred to Steven by my financial planner and this turned out to be a great tip. Steven was prompt, professional, and courteous. He was patient and thorough answering all of my questions. He kept the ball rolling and the process was completed in the time frame promised. There were absolutely no surprises at settlement. An excellent job! Kat Park2023-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Steven by my financial advisor and I have been thrilled with the service I received from him. I was looking for an honest and trustworthy broker to assist in refinancing my home. He is very responsive when you call and keeps close tabs on the market. Steven is very knowledgeable and worked hard to get the best interest rate possible. I was SO pleased with his outstanding results that I referred him to family members and friends. He has since secured good interest rates for at least 3 people I referred. I highly recommend Steven!!
