Stylish, efficient, and full of natural light, this beautifully updated Serra Mesa studio makes the most of every inch of its 441 square feet. The layout feels surprisingly spacious with vaulted second-story ceilings, new recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, dual-pane windows, and fresh paint throughout. The main living area easily accommodates a queen-size bed, sofa, TV setup, and even a small workspace, while the charming dining nook offers a dedicated spot for meals or study sessions. A private balcony (see suppl) adds an inviting outdoor extension of the space, perfect for morning coffee or fresh air. The full kitchen is a standout for a studio, featuring granite countertops, electric appliances, and an impressive amount of cabinet storage. New carpet and the overall clean, move-in-ready presentation make this home easy to love from the moment you step inside. Located in the heart of Serra Mesa, this home offers unmatched central convenience with quick access to Mission Valley, Kearny Mesa, SDSU Mission Valley, Snapdragon Stadium, the Convoy District, and major freeways including the 163, 805, 15, and 8.
