About This Home

As of April 2021

BACK ON THE MARKET!! Don't let it slip by again! Seller is offering a $7,500 buyer credit for this charming Vista La Cuesta condo. It is one of only 4 units within the complex with a lake view. Almost every window looks off on greenery and beauty, giving you the feeling of being in the country. This home sits off of the main loop, giving it an added amount of seclusion. The home is light and bright and has a lovely, large kitchen with which to cook and entertain. Watch the sunsets from your private patio where there’s space for a garden and BBQ. Downstairs features an indoor laundry area, ½ guest bath, direct two-car garage access, a dining area and living room with gas fireplace. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, both of which have an en suite bathroom. The master bath has been remodeled and has dual sinks and a beautiful granite countertop. Use the patio off the master bedroom to enjoy the lake view all year round. There is also a loft upstairs for an office or man cave. Just across the street, you can enjoy all the offerings of the lake…take the dog for a walk, use the outdoor workout equipment or go for a morning run. The possibilities are endless if you love the outdoors. Walking distance to all sorts of shopping and dining and just a short jaunt to the 241 freeway. Don’t miss your opportunity to make this special home your own!
