About this home
Two full levels. Two private living zones. One unique floor plan in Strawberry Hills near Lake Murray. Originally the builder’s model home and sales office, this peaceful end-unit townhome is still the only layout of its kind in the community — built for real separation when you want privacy, and easy connection when you don’t. Main level (upstairs): 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, plus a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, dining area, kitchen, and a balcony tucked among the trees and birdsong. Expect rich Arts & Crafts / Mission-inspired woodwork, decorative glass accents, custom built-ins, exposed architectural detail, and an exceptional level of craftsmanship throughout the showcase upstairs. Lower level: 2 additional bedrooms and 1 full bath, a kitchenette-style wet bar, new flooring, remodeled finishes, mini-split ACs, a private ground-level patio, and its own exterior entrance. You can also reach the lower level from the main residence through the garage, so the spaces stay flexible — private suite or connected home, depending on how you live. Ideal for multigenerational living, guests, older children or college students, home offices, live-in help, or anyone who wants extra private living and work space without leaving the Lake Murray / La Mesa area. Extras: attached 2-car garage, mature landscaping, and a quiet end-unit setting. Strawberry Hills amenities include pools, spas, clubhouse, and gym, with convenient freeway access nearby. Walk, bike, or short-drive to Lake Murray paths, parks, and everyday shopping.
