4485 Cherokee

Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Normal Heights, this charming 1926 Craftsman home was built soon after the neighborhood's annexation to the City of San Diego. Meticulously restored over the years, 4485 Cherokee retains its original hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, built-ins and elegant cove ceilings. The remodeled galley kitchen features quartz countertops, modern cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher! The bathroom has been tastefully updated with a new vanity and a glass-enclosed tiled shower. Significant improvements include $40K of foundation work, an ABS main sewer line under the home, updated electrical (no knob and tube) and the addition of an in-home washer and dryer. Situated on a full-sized lot with alley access, the property includes a two-car garage on a new slab, offering excellent potential for an ADU conversion. The expansive backyard is a peaceful retreat with a majestic 100+yr old pepper tree and an array of fruit trees, including cocktail orange, Meyer lemon, lime, Valencia orange, Washington naval orange, pineapple guava, fig, banana, loquat, native grapes, and various berries. This home is just a short stroll to popular restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and vintage stores. With easy access to freeways, it's only 10 minutes to downtown and 15 to the beach!
