Property Description
Developers and Investors!! Cosmetic Fixer, a single family with a potential for 3 additional ADUS. If you have been waiting for the right property in San Diego, this is it. 5278 Trojan Ave is a 3-bedroom, 1-bath single family home on a 7,000 square foot lot in Colina del Sol, priced at $799,000 with no HOA and no Mello-Roos. The home is move-in ready with fresh paint, updated flooring, no popcorn ceilings, a partially renovated kitchen and bathroom, and a renovated laundry room with French doors, so you can live in it, rent it, or hold it while you plan your next move. And here is where it gets interesting. This lot is approved to support two full ADUs in the backyard, and a garage conversion to a Junior ADU has already been permitted with plans included and ready to renew, giving you the potential for up to four units on a single lot in one of San Diego's strongest rental markets. The backyard is private and spacious with a covered patio, mature avocado tree, real grass, an established garden, and three barn style structures you can repurpose or remove entirely to break ground. There is even room for an in-ground pool. You are 15 minutes from San Diego International Airport, connected to University Avenue by bus, and walking distance to parks, restaurants, and shops in a neighborhood that is actively growing and attracting attention from developers and investors who know what is coming. Colina del Sol is not where San Diego has been. It is where it is going. Lots like this, with this kind of density potential, at this price point, do not come available often. Call today before this one is gone.
