About This Home
As of July 2025Tucked into a charming family-friendly neighborhood with top-rated schools, this beautifully renovated single-level home is the perfect place to plant roots or start a new chapter. The home has just undergone a complete, high-end renovation blending fresh modern design with warmth, comfort, and everyday functionality. Flooded with natural light and new dual-pane windows, the open-concept layout feels airy and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom “thin rail” white oak shaker cabinetry with soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops with a full-height matching slab backsplash, a 36-inch chef’s range, Whirlpool appliances, bar seating for four, and recessed LED lighting. Upgrades continue throughout the home with wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, oversized baseboards, all-new interior doors and trim with premium Kwikset hardware, and brand-new sliders and exterior doors. A newer central A/C and furnace ensure comfort year-round. Out back, the yard has been fully reimagined with mature shade trees, a rope swing, newer concrete hardscape, engineered drainage, and drip irrigation offering a peaceful space to relax, play, or entertain. The primary suite is a quiet retreat w/ direct backyard access and a spa-inspired en suite bath featuring imported Spanish tile, a white oak vanity, custom shower glass, and Delta fixtures. The guest bath echoes the same upscale feel with Spanish tile, a new soaking tub, Moen fixtures, and designer lighting. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully refreshed with quality and care. Residents have the option to join the Lake and Lodge at Lake San Marcos within walking distance for just $75/month, offering access to lakefront activities, a pool and spa, pickleball courts, fitness center, clubhouse events, and more a great way to enjoy the active lifestyle and strong sense of community this area is known for. The location is equally impressive. Just minutes from La Costa in Carlsbad, you’re also within walking distance of Amalfi Cucina Italiana, a waterfront favorite at Lake San Marcos. The community also features two golf courses—The Links at Lakehouse and an executive 18-hole course along with Brickmans Restaurant and Bar, where you can unwind with food and drinks overlooking the scenic St. Mark Golf Course.
