About the property

Turnkey 4-Bed Home with Tesla Battery & Resort Backyard

This beautifully upgraded two-story home at 13368 Goldentop Drive delivers the best of Southern California indoor-outdoor living. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and about 2,058 square feet, the house has been thoughtfully improved with a new roof (2024), fresh interior and exterior paint, updated flooring in the bedrooms, upgraded electrical outlets/switches, replaced gas lines to appliances, a new water pressure regulator and a whole-house fan for efficient cooling.

The primary suite is oversized and includes a large walk-in closet and a spa-like primary bath with separate tub and shower. The kitchen and service areas have been refreshed with brand-new appliances, and smart fixtures throughout increase convenience and efficiency. Energy-conscious buyers will appreciate the leased solar system paired with a Tesla whole-home battery (Sunrun) — the listing states that SDG&E CARE rates are grandfathered to the buyer, which can substantially reduce monthly energy costs (verify lease transfer and billing details during due diligence).

Step outside to a professionally redesigned backyard that reads like a private retreat: a gorgeous covered patio with three ceiling fans, pavers and LED accent lighting; a built-in outdoor BBQ bar for year-round entertaining; artificial turf for low-maintenance play; and a putting green for casual recreation. Extras such as smart patio fans and a professionally installed trench drain complete the outdoor package and make this home ready to host family and friends from day one.

Located on the Lakeside/El Cajon border, the property balances neighborhood quiet with convenient access to shopping, dining and regional recreation. With a list price of $969,000 and significant recent upgrades, this home presents as a move-in ready opportunity for families and buyers seeking energy-efficient systems and a resort-style outdoor space.

Agent note: Verify Sunrun lease transfer terms and on-site parking during your showing. Contact listing agent Lisa Ruiz to schedule a private tour and receive full disclosures.

Editorial neighborhood context

Lakeside is a suburban, family-oriented community east of central San Diego. Neighborhoods in the 92040 zip code generally feature single-family homes on modest-to-generous lots, local schools administered by Lakeside Union and Grossmont Union High School Districts, and easy access to outdoor recreation including Lake Jennings and nearby trails. The area attracts buyers who prioritize yard space and quieter residential streets while maintaining reasonable commutes into central San Diego.

Nearby access summary

Good access to parks, golf, and regional reservoirs; backyard is effectively a private recreation amenity with putting green and built-in BBQ.

Editorial market perspective

Lakeside (92040) sits in inland San Diego County and typically trades at a discount to coastal neighborhoods while offering larger lots and more outdoor living. Over the past 3–5 years the area posted steady appreciation as buyers sought more space. Market conditions as of early 2026 are balanced to mildly competitive: well-upgraded single-family homes that are turnkey and energy-efficient (solar + battery) attract strong interest and can sell within weeks. Median single-family prices for the general Lakeside/El Cajon corridor tend to cluster below central San Diego averages—making this a relative value for buyers relocating from coastal submarkets. With a list price near $969K, this home competes primarily with other move-in-ready 3–4 bedroom homes; marketing should emphasize the battery-backed solar, new roof and the exceptional backyard to maximize buyer demand.
