About This Home

As of January 2018

Set far down a long gated driveway on a 1 acre parcel sits this custom 4 bedroom(with optional 5th and detached office) pool home with one of the best layouts around. Inside is simultaneously spacious and warm with wood plank flooring, open wood beamed ceilings and loads of windows to let in the natural light and capture views of the park like front and back yards. The outside is peaceful, private, and ideal for entertaining. See supplement for additional details. Interested parties should move quickly.

Truly one of the best locations in North County. One of the first things you notice when you pull up is the curb appeal. The property is tucked behind red brick columns and a black wrought iron gate with extra parking out front if needed. Pull through the gate and head down the driveway and your eye will catch the large front lawn and loads of colorful flowers and planters. You also will notice the spacious 3 car garage and the detached building at the end of the driveway, currently used as a home office but the possibilities are endless. Add plumbing and expand the structure and you can use it as a guest house or keep it as is for a great art studio, play room for the kids, or home office as it is currently being used. The roof of the home was replaced ~10 years ago so you can check that potential expense off your list for some time. In addition to that, the furnace, AC, and hot water heater were replaced in 2014. All the irrigation was recently ...
