About this home

Welcome to 5831 Vale Way, a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in San Diego’s El Cerrito neighborhood, where thoughtfully updated interiors meet an extraordinary terraced garden retreat. With inviting spaces to gather, work, and unwind, this property offers a unique blend of comfort, character, and indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home, the remodeled kitchen features new cabinetry, quartz countertops, a generous island, new appliances, and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. Refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and updated lighting bring warmth and continuity throughout. The laundry room has been completely reimagined, and one bathroom has been fully renovated. The second is a work of art in its own right. Entirely custom, it features sculpted walls, natural stone, stained glass, handcrafted woodwork, and built-in planters with integrated irrigation. It's the kind of space you remember long after the tour. Beyond the aesthetics, extensive improvements offer comfort and peace of mind, including a new roof, HVAC system, tankless water heater, and new sewer and drain lines. A 22-panel owned solar system paired with a Tesla battery offers energy efficiency and backup power capabilities. The spacious one-car garage provides ample room for parking and storage, while a separate basement bonus area offers additional flexibility for a workshop, hobbies or extra storage.
