4602 Valencia Drive

Welcome to this lovely 1940s Craftsman-style home in the heart of the coveted Rolando Village. This charming three-bedroom, two and half-bath home hasn't been on the market in 45 years! The pride of ownership is shown throughout and the sellers still have the original permitted house plans for the whole-house remodel in 1990.  Two of the bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths are downstairs, with the primary bedroom upstairs having a mini-split air conditioning & heating unit with a west-facing backyard balcony and a spa tub in the primary bathroom. The open kitchen/breakfast area has a French door stainless steel fridge, a Dual-fuel six-burner Café brand stove, a four-function microwave (convection oven, broiler, air fryer & microwave), and a convenient hanging pot rack over the stove. Nearby is a laundry room, dining room, and a spacious lower-level family room with a built-in gas/log fireplace. See Supplement for more.

You'd think the pass-through buffet between the kitchen/dining room, air conditioning with a 4-ton compressor (installed in 2016), water softener for hot water, Pella windows, French doors from family room to patio, and tiled floors in the kitchen & bathrooms would be enough - But wait, there's more! The home has fifteen owned & fully paid solar electric panels with an internet connection (installed in October 2016), solar hot water panels with an 80-gallon plastic lined storage tank, and a hot water re-circulation system providing instant hot water. The outside includes drought-resistant landscaping in the front yard, automatic irrigation, and a detached and set-back 2-car garage. The backyard has covered patio space, mature fruit trees (Pomegranate, Avocados (2), Mandarin, Tangelo, & Meyer Lemon), and a fresh herb garden (Basil, Thyme, Lavender, Sage, Marjoram, Fennel, Garlic Chives, Italian Parsley & Rosemary) perfect for gardening and entertaining. Set in a tree-lined neighborhood with charming original streetlights and historic “8 catwalks", this property is next to the famous Papagayo Catwalk. It’s also conveniently close to SDSU. Rolando Village is known for its amazing community spirit, including an annual Street Fair. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of this vibrant neighborhood!
