About This Home

As of July 2025

What a great property and curb appeal in Mesa del Mar! This 3br 2ba pool home with separate studio Casita is a jewel. The home feels very open and updated. Shaker cabinets with Granite countertops. Hardwood floors. The master bedroom leads out to a studio Casita and pool area. There is also an outdoor living area right off the kitchen. Very quiet street. This home is a must see!
