Description

Live, work and invest in the heart of La Mesa Village! Welcome to the Bowers House at 8318–20 Allison Avenue, a rare and iconic Craftsman twin-home consisting of 2 side-by-side units, zoned for both residential AND commercial use. Situated just one block off La Mesa Boulevard, this property offers a compelling mix of historic charm, income potential, commercial flexibility, and future redevelopment upside. Used today as two elegant side-by-side residences, this special property invites a wide range of possibilities: live in one, rent the other, create a live/work setup, or explore additional options and redevelopment under its zoning CD-D (Downtown Commercial / Urban Design Overlay). Built in the 1920s and extensively renovated in 2011 this property is rich in details and well cared for. T he structure beautifully preserves its original character with hardwood floors, glass-inlay paneled doors, crystal knobs, and an inviting front porch. Unit 8318 features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and is approximately 1350 sq ft; while Unit 8320 offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths and is approximately 1250 sq ft. Both units enjoy private fenced yards, private laundry, and off-street parking. The oversized lot is a major asset, with four vintage garages, plentiful storage, and parking for more than 12 vehicles. But not to worry, you can leave the car at home! All the village restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques and businesses are just steps away plus you have a front row seat to beloved community events like the Friday Farmer's Market, weekly summertime Classic Car Show, Oktoberfest, and Holiday in the Village. For those who want to take advantage of the commercial aspect, this property offers a prime location and great visibility and convenience. Or, if you just want to live in a really cool house in a really cool neighborhood, plus take in rent to offset your mortgage, don't miss this one! In a district seeing continued investment and growth, this is more than a duplex, it is a standout legacy property with a story to tell and a bright future ahead. Buyer to verify all uses and development potential with the City of La Mesa.
