One-acre Mediterranean-style estate in one of El Cajon's most sought after neighborhoods, Granite Hills. Set with a southwest-facing orientation to soak in golden sunsets over the valley, this home offers the rare combination of space, privacy, and genuine upgrades, not just a fresh coat of paint. Step onto the entry patio and you will find a detached casita, a flexible bonus space perfect for a home gym, studio, or private office separate from the main house, with its own charm and not counted toward the home's square footage. Inside the main residence, cherry dark-stained hardwood floors run through the living and dining areas, anchored by a stacked river-rock fireplace. The kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, and terracotta tile flooring, opening to a great room. Plantation shutters dress the windows throughout, and the primary suite is a bright, vaulted retreat with its own walk-in closet and en-suite bath. BONUS-Downstairs, a private-entrance guest space near the garage adds even more flexibility for extended family or visitors. Step outside and the real magic happens. The recently remodeled pool has a pebble finish, a stacked-stone bench to sit and relax to overlook the sweeping views of the entire El Cajon Valley. A separate boulder-lined pond sits tucked into a shaded grove of mature palms, and lemon and orange trees add a true backyard-orchard feel. The grounds are gated and fully fenced, with ample parking and lush, mature landscaping. This home has been genuinely cared for: a new roof, new water heater, owned solar (fully paid off), a transferable lifetime exterior paint warranty ( fire-resistant exterior paint). It's an all-electric home with dual-pane windows throughout for efficiency and comfort. And for the right buyer, there's a rare opportunity here too: an assumable VA loan at 2.125%, with a current balance of approximately $425,033 financing . Peaceful. Private. Move-in ready with real upgrades behind it. This is a home that earns the word "estate."
