7273 Cornell Avenue La Mesa, CA 91942

Tax records show 4BR/3BA, but the home currently functions more like a 2BR/2BA with two primary suites and several bonus spaces full of potential. Known as Caislean na Minairde Minard Castle, this home feels like a hidden storybook retreat and underwent a major renovation in 1989. A beautiful front deck welcomes you into a formal entry, oversized kitchen with eat in dining, walk in pantry, and charming brick floors and walls. The main level primary features a gas fireplace, turret room, and balcony with mountain views. Upstairs, the second primary feels like a private retreat with abundant natural light, walk in closet, and ensuite bath. Sliding doors from nearly every major room lead to a private drought tolerant courtyard ready for a firepit and outdoor seating. And don't forget to visit the street level turret room with its own access, then take a peek at the secret room tucked above the closet because every castle should have a little surprise.
