109 Scenic Dr

El Cajon, CA92021

"Above the Valley on Scenic Drive… Privacy, polish, and a backyard that feels like a secret." WHAT WE LOVE: Life slows way down up here. A few minutes up the hill and suddenly the city disappears, the noise drops, and it feels like you traded chaos for calm. What sets this one apart is the level of the remodel both inside and out. Home remodels can usually lean practical and efficient, but this place delivers a completely unexpected level of finish. The walls carry smooth Venetian plaster, the baseboards are oversized, the windows are all dual pane, the lighting is thoughtful and custom, the flooring feels continuous and clean, and the kitchen and baths look like something you would expect closer to the coast. The primary suite is generous, with stone and tile work that belongs in a designer portfolio, and the walk in closet already has a full built in system. It is polished, elevated, and done with intention. Then you step outside and the story levels up again. The sellers inherited a blank canvas and turned the entire lot into a terraced garden that feels alive. They built it layer by layer, rock by rock, plant by plant, with climate friendly landscaping that still feels lush and abundant. Citrus trees are already producing. There is even an outbuilding tucked into the garden for tools and storage. The front approach has been refreshed with new greenery, the right side yard has a charming archway and planting bed, and the walkway along the side of the house has been landscaped as well. Everywhere you look is color and texture and life. WHAT WE LOVE, CONT…: And the location sings. Crest is one of East County’s quiet treasures, a tiny walkable pocket with a local Mexican restaurant, a general store, and that small town warmth where people still know each other. You get privacy, you get clear skies, you get quiet nights, and when you need groceries or freeway access you are just a short roll back down the hill. This is the rare blend… elevated remodel, intentional landscaping, peaceful ridge living, and the best version of East County convenience wrapped into one very dialed in package.
