About This Home

As of November 2023

1 of the largest lots in Costa Serena! Want to build a JDU, ADU or park RV, it may be possible. 4 years ago - NEW roof, flooring, water heater, & bath. Current easy care landscaping. GARDEN? Almost a quarter acre, there is room to go off-grid with organic vegetables. The slope is fully planted and can be left alone or recultivated with paths and fruit trees. At top of a culdesac there is almost no traffic. HOA "dues" are voluntary and support the continuity of the visual village. Walking? 3 miles of friendly streets. If you have never lived in a 55+ community you are in for a treat. This home is at the top of the Pearl Lane culdesac, one of the best cared-for streets in Costa Serena. You will love how many friends you can make as people here love to walk in the morning and evenings. Then back at home it is super private! The south facing kitchen is a great place to try the latest recipe from Martha or Gordon. So much room to plant an herb garden or grow organic vegetables. Fruit trees would thrive on the slope it you wanted to replace the currently fully planted shrubbery. Just three minutes from the freeway and then 10 minutes to the beach. The breeze comes in strong from the west & home has 3 attic whirlybirds to draw the air. Bob calculated there is 9 feet clear from roof drip line to the edge of the fence, so there may be room for a small RV in the side yard. It actually gets bigger as you head to the back, love those culdesac homesites. Most westerly facing rear yards heat up late in the day but trees provide shade for your comfort here.
