Beautiful 2,200 SF, 4-bedroom (1 downstairs), 2.5-bath home situated on a private corner lot with no HOA and no Mello Roos. On the first floor, there is a laundry room and one of the bedrooms. The fully paid-off solar system provides exceptional energy savings. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room and family room, fresh interior paint, and a comfortable, well-designed layout ready for move-in. Beyond the large driveway, the open entryway leads to a kitchen featuring high-quality cabinetry and real granite countertops. The home has been meticulously maintained throughout. The backyard is professionally landscaped with a jacuzzi, terraced retaining walls, integrated sprinklers, and proper drainage-an ideal setup for cultivating your own garden. Fruit trees add natural beauty and utility to the space. All improvements were fully permitted, and Grading Plans will be provided with an accepted offer. Located in Santa Fe Hills, this home is within walking distance of excellent schools, a community center with a pool and tennis courts, local parks, and offers quick access for Carlsbad/Oceanside commuters within the San Marcos Unified School District.
