About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to 538 Tag Lane, where thoughtful upgrades, smart energy savings, and true pride of ownership come together in one of Ramona’s most desirable family neighborhoods. This isn’t just another listing it’s the kind of property buyers dream of but rarely find. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Ramona, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been updated, maintained, and loved by its current owners and it shows in every detail. Step inside and immediately notice the new flooring, and fresh interior paint that give this home a clean, modern feel without losing its warmth. The living room features a fireplace and ceiling fan, ideal for cozy nights and relaxed mornings. The kitchen is where this home truly shines with upgraded flooring, stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, and a window overlooking the backyard so you can keep an eye on the kids or enjoy peaceful views while cooking. The layout flows seamlessly into the dining area and living space, perfect for families and entertainers alike. Upstairs, each of the three bedrooms is designed for comfort with new ceiling fans. The primary suite features a dual vanity, oversized walk-in closet with organizers, and beautifully tiled walk-in shower giving you a private retreat that feels like a spa. The functional garage is a showstopper in itself. Fully drywalled and outfitted with modern lighting, shelving, and a deep freezer this space could easily serve as a home gym, or workshop as the garage opens on the front and the back for all the extra toys. The lot is just over 6,000 sq ft, offering RV parking, a lemon tree, and a versatile shed currently used as a playroom, but can easily be a home office, gym, or yoga studio. There’s plenty of room for pets, parties, gardening, or adding your dream backyard oasis. The brand-new front yard turf adds curb appeal and saves on maintenance, while the solar lease you assume (just $188/month) keeps energy costs low. But location might be the best feature of all. You’re just minutes from Ramona Grasslands Preserve, Swartz Canyon Park, Milagro Farm Winery, and the popular Mt. Woodson Trail and Potato Chip Rock. Enjoy Thursday nights on Main Street with Ramona Cruise Nights, where locals gather for classic cars, community, and small-town charm that’s getting harder to find in Southern California. This home is zoned for Ramona Unified School District, with nearby shopping, dining, and essentials just minutes away. Whether you're a growing family, a first-time buyer, or a couple ready for low-maintenance living in a welcoming community — 538 Tag Lane delivers space, comfort, and long-term value.
