Property Description
Tucked away at the top of a private cul-de-sac, this 2018 Spanish-inspired home in San Marcos offers owned solar, refined upgrades, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The open floor plan centers on a gourmet kitchen with granite island and bar seating, custom backsplash, stainless appliances including double ovens, Bosch dishwasher, a counter-depth refrigerator, and walk-in pantry, flowing into expansive living areas with crown molding and custom window coverings. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide ideal space for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite includes two walk-in closets and a spa bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and large shower, while an additional ensuite bedroom has its own walk-in closet and remodeled bath. The builder’s loft option has been enclosed as a true bedroom with closet, and a spacious laundry room adds convenience. Outdoor living features a California Room with fireplace and TV, dining patio, fountain, freestanding fireplace lounge, and gated dog run, framed by mature olive trees and low-water landscaping. * * * Planned with efficiency and versatility, this home features owned solar with 24 panels on NEM2 metering, a 220V outlet in the garage for car charging, zoned HVAC, a whole house fan, and a tankless water heater. The single-car garage was professionally converted to a wellness room with an arched window—perfect for yoga, a den, or library—and can be restored if desired. Interior upgrades include crown molding, recessed lighting, shiplap accents, and custom window coverings that add polish throughout. A spacious upstairs laundry room provides convenience, while the finished main garage includes storage solutions for everyday function. The grounds are enhanced by mature olive trees, turf, low-water landscaping, and accent lighting, with thoughtful hardscape details including French drains and rain gutters. A Ring doorbell adds smart-home ease. Ideally situated near Twin Oaks Golf Course, Cal State San Marcos, top-rated schools, dining, shopping, and freeway access.
