8009 Shantung Drive Santee, CA 92071

Tucked away on a quiet street in West Santee, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home backs to Cowles Mountain and is a nature enthusiast's dream! A lesser known entrance to Cowles is at the end of the street. Imagine starting your day with a morning hike up Cowles, walking to pick up your kids at the beloved neighborhood school, and ending your evening with a drink around the fire pit in your backyard as the sun goes down over the mountains. The house holds immediate curb appeal, starting with the white picket fence yard, newer windows, a glass oval front door and a newer roof (2017). There is also room to park your recreational RV, Boat, ATV, or Trailer. The residence was extensively updated by the current owners, including a newer HVAC system, a beautiful newer primary bathroom with soaking tub, LVP wood-grain flooring throughout (tile in baths), neutral paint colors, upgraded lighting and plumbing fixtures and a reconfigured foyer. The open-concept layout seamlessly blends the living and dining areas, complemented by a gourmet kitchen featuring mocha cabinetry, granite countertops and a movable butcher block island with stainless steel appliances. The massive Living Room boasts impressive wood beamed ceilings, a cozy fireplace and a sliding glass door leading to your private, low-maintenance backyard, complete with a gas fire pit and Cowles as a backdrop. Back inside, each level offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Upstairs was fully redesigned and offers stunning city light and mountain views. The sewer line was also completely replaced in 2023.
