Beautifully upgraded home with a 2-car garage in the highly desirable Smoketree community. Offering the rare benefit of only one shared wall and a layout that truly lives like a detached home. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and an abundance of natural light that creates a bright, open feel throughout. The spacious living room centers around a cozy gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area and updated kitchen, making the home feel both functional and inviting. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled with white shaker cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting. A generous peninsula provides additional prep space and a natural gathering spot for entertaining or everyday living. Thoughtful upgrades can be found throughout, including durable LVP flooring, new dual-pane vinyl windows and sliders, new HVAC, including a Quiet Cool whole-house fan, and updated lighting that gives the home a clean, modern feel while maintaining warmth and character. The well-designed floor plan offers comfortable secondary bedrooms and a spacious primary suite, while both bathrooms have been updated with contemporary touches. One of the standout features is the direct-access 2-car garage with full laundry and ample storage, adding convenience rarely found in condo living. Two private outdoor spaces offer quiet areas to relax and enjoy the indoor-outdoor lifestyle San Diego is known for. Smoketree residents enjoy access to a community pool, clubhouse, and well-maintained grounds, with HOA coverage that includes water and common area maintenance for added ease of living. Ideally located just minutes from La Mesa Village, local parks, shopping, dining, and easy freeway access, this home combines comfort, privacy, and convenience in one exceptional opportunity. If you've been searching for a low-maintenance home that doesn't feel like a condo, this is one you don't want to miss!
