About This Home
As of October 2021Tip-top remodel on a huge, level corner lot in La Costa Valley. Details matter. Shiplap, crown, wainscot, coffer, shutters, cased windows, roman shades and archways. Modern meets Mediterranean. New windows throughout, Pasadena-style interior doors added, a showcase kitchen with all the bells & whistles, fabulous flooring, whole house exterior paint. Sky-high baseboards. Remodeled bathrooms, backlit built-ins, overhead lighting and ceiling fans. Need a downstairs drop zone? Find custom backpack, book & board storage behind the barn door. The 3-car tandem garage (epoxied!) adds surfboard racks, bike storage, workshop space, cabinets and shelves for all the SoCal fun supplies. Walls of windows flood the home with light, including the vaulted master bedroom with a star-viewing balcony and charming alcove for reading, stretching, the Peloton. Check out the new master bathroom--you'll think Chip & Jo live here. Shiplap, modern double-vanity, center storage, metal sconces, stand-alone tub, ceiling height shower tile and splashy rainhead plus wand sprayer. The classiest master closet. All built-in and full of cabinets, drawers and shelves. Wink at your fine, organized selves in the mirrored closet door. The kids get their own wing, wainscot and a built-in bookshelf. Crown molding, too. And a breezy shared bathroom with fresh white tile and a port hole looking towards the sea. Toss the towels in the upstairs laundry nearby before you step out to the massive backyard to play and enjoy the privacy of <1/4 acre. Outdoor, covered dining. Barbecue pavilion. Lush greenery. Come & see!
