About This Home

Introducing a modern, upscale residence behind the gates of Vientos/Rancho Tesoro, blending sleek, contemporary design with comfort and lifestyle. Features include open-concept design, premium finishes, custom paint, upgraded baseboards, and designer ceiling fans. The kitchen features a chef-inspired design with KitchenAid stainless-steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, a decorative tile backsplash, stained driftwood shaker cabinetry with a pull-out pantry, a 5-burner gas cooktop, a built-in oven/microwave, a commercial-style hood, and custom floating shelves. Porcelain tile flooring, double-padded Berber carpet, Hunter Douglas Hybrid shutters, Provenance woven shades, and double insulated walls enhance privacy. Downstairs, a bedroom with a pocket door creates a private en suite, a custom tile shower, and a walk-in closet w/wardrobe mirror. Paid solar with a backup battery and an epoxy-finished 2-car garage with overhead storage. The low-maintenance backyard oasis features high-end touches like an industrial ceiling fan, ideal for relaxation, morning coffee, or unwinding with a glass of wine or a swim in the community resort-style pool. Located just minutes from San Elijo Hills Town Center, North City, Cal State San Marcos, Community Colleges, and vocational/trade schools; a diverse mix of shops, restaurants, services, grocery stores, specialty shops, fitness studios, and cafes. Over 50% of the community is open space, with 18 miles of trails, lakes, and parks, making outdoor activities part of daily life—and quick access to SR-78, which connects I-5 and I-15.
