5612 Meade, San Diego CA 92115 | $969,400

Rare opportunity to own a larger single-story home in El Cerrito Heights under $1M. Located in San Diego’s College Area, this property offers more space, a versatile layout, and long-term potential that’s increasingly hard to find. This Mediterranean ranch-style, single-level home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates throughout. Inside, hardwood floors (refinished in 2019) flow through a functional layout featuring a comfortable living room with fireplace, a spacious bonus family room, and a bright dining area—creating multiple living spaces that are increasingly rare in the neighborhood. The kitchen is clean and well-maintained with stainless steel appliances, including a newer gas range (2021) and refrigerator (2023), offering flexibility to move right in or update over time. The generous primary suite includes direct access to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Recent system improvements include updated gas piping and updated plumbing (2026), a newer hot water heater (2022), central air conditioning with Nest thermostat, and a newer roof—providing added peace of mind. Situated on a usable lot with alley access, the property offers strong ADU potential and flexibility for expansion or additional income opportunities. The private backyard features a renovated deck, pergola, and a newer spa (installed January 2025), making it ideal for entertaining and enjoying Southern California living. Homes with this combination of size, layout, lot utility, and ADU potential rarely come available in El Cerrito Heights and the surrounding College Area.
