4309 Harbinson Ave

Sometimes you ask, “What’s in a name?” Names create images of things we know, love, and cherish. Don’t we all love to be called by our given name? So… Welcome to Harbinson Breezes! Wait, a home with a name? Absolutely! Especially when it’s a home that has been designated an official Monarch Butterfly Waystation! Never fear, it’s not just the butterflies that will love this home. Introducing a special mid-century residence that has been remodeled and lovingly cared for. With the home situated on an elevated frontage, and back from the street, the drive-up curb appeal is sweet. The lot itself is expansive, going a third of an acre up the hillside. Every facet of the outdoor experience has been curated to provide maximum pleasure for enjoying nature and some stunning panoramic views in upper levels. The nature trails are idyllic for both gardening and sauntering, not to mention the whole Monarch Butterfly experience. Please see Supplement for more Details. The home has been previously reimagined prior to the current owners. The exterior is immaculate, from the front landscape to the period palette of paint colors. Step inside to wood laminate flooring that casts a warm glow. It’s an open concept floorplan which highlights the spacious updated kitchen. Features include recessed lighting, tile flooring, granite counter tops, an abundance of cabinetry and a full suite of appliances including a new dishwasher. The bedrooms are both generous in size. The front bedroom has a wonderful view out front, elevated looking out above the rooftops across the street into the green hillside. The back bedroom has a tranquil view up the backyard slope, taking in all the different facets of the Butterfly kingdom and accompanying nature trails. There is plenty of storage and closet space, although the back bedroom has had the formal closet removed so that the current pet resort can flourish. There is an attached half bath in the back bedroom, with the formal bath easily accessible by all parts of the home in the main hallway. The baths have been completely remodeled and show bright and vibrant. The direct access attached garage has high ceilings, multiple fixed elevated storage shelving, and wood laminate flooring to create a completely finished look. Stepping outside, there is a large breezy covered veranda that welcomes you into the outdoor gardens. It’s a perfect lounging area with plenty of seating areas. The hillside backyard section has been sculptured into multiple levels of garden vignettes, each with their own personality and story. The paths are lit with dozens of solar lights and an endless variety of fruit, herbs and majestic trees. The top level features a big open space complete with picnic table and artist retreat. The retreat can serve in so many ways. From reading room, to she-shed, to setting up a happy hour bar and snack station, entertaining moments await! The views from the top are glorious and with all the seating options and view corridors, there will be plenty of sunrises and sunsets spent enjoying this beautiful life. Harbinson Breezes is ideally located, tucked away in the Academy Heights enclave of La Mesa. It is just a few minutes’ walk to cafes, transportation and shops. The Joan Kroc center is only a few minutes’ drive and the vibrant La Mesa Village is a few minutes the other way. Close to schools, public services and recreation, the home is the complete package.
