About This Home
As of April 2025Introducing a beautifully remodeled single-story home in the highly desirable Eastgate neighborhood. This thoughtfully upgraded three bedroom, two bathroom residence offers modern elegance with a warm and inviting feel. Inside, luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout, complemented by fresh interior paint, recessed lighting, and stylish new baseboards. The spacious living room centers around a newly tiled fireplace, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring pristine quartz countertops, sleek white cabinetry with soft-close drawers and high-end stainless steel appliances, including a SmartThings-enabled Samsung stove and dishwasher. The bathrooms have been tastefully updated with terrazzo tile flooring, Toto toilets, Kohler quartz countertops, and illuminated mirrors. Additional home enhancements include a new painted exterior, a whole-house Aquasana water filtration system, a Nest thermostat, new blinds, gutters, fascia, and a fire-rated door leading to the attached two-car garage. The finished garage is drywalled and features a durable epoxy-coated floor. Step outside to your private backyard retreat, where a sparkling pool is surrounded by mature avocado, orange, grapefruit, and lemon trees. A covered patio with string lights provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. This exceptional home is just minutes from Eastgate Park, which offers free summer concerts and a community pool. Top-rated schools in the area are Pacifica High School, Bell Intermediate, and Patton Elementary. The nearby Navy Golf Course, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, and Costco add to the convenience. With thoughtful upgrades and a prime location, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy modern comfort in a charming and well-established community.
