Property Description
A rare opportunity to update and personalize a spacious Mediterranean-style residence in the heart of La Costa. Built in 2005, this home offers generous living spaces, a versatile floor plan, and charming outdoor areas for relaxing. The residence features 4 bedrooms plus a large upstairs loft and a separate office, creating flexible spaces ideal for working from home, extended living, or additional recreation areas. The detached office provides a private workspace that feels separate from the main living areas, offering excellent potential for creative use. The backyard is designed for easy maintenance, featuring a charming outdoor patio area perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying San Diego's year-round indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Inside, the home offers expansive living areas and a layout that flows comfortably for everyday living. While the property would benefit from cosmetic updates and modernization, it presents an excellent canvas for a buyer to reimagine and personalize the space.
