A home with good bones, generous space, and the opportunity to make it entirely your own. Welcome to 5876 Cowles Mountain Boulevard. Situated in an established La Mesa neighborhood, this four-bedroom, two-bath home offers approximately 1,729 square feet of living space on a generous 8,300-square-foot lot. It's the kind of property that offers something increasingly valuable: room to live comfortably today, with the freedom to make changes tomorrow. The home has been well maintained, and while the kitchen retains it's original character, it presents an opportunity rather than an obstacle. Enjoy the home as it is, or gradually transform these spaces to reflect your own taste and lifestyle. The choice is yours.
