Description
Motivated seller looking for the right buyer. Looking for an escape from summer’s desert heat or winter’s snow and cold? Maybe you still surf? Or you could just be looking to downsize and live a life of leisure with access to many activities right outside your doorstep. This 2/2 home was recently refreshed throughout with new paint and Coretec LVP floors. The guest bath was enlarged and upgraded. The master bath has a soaking tub, separate shower and dual vanity. Both baths have new sleek base Kohler toilets. Two new ceiling fans make the central heat and air less necessary. It has a roomy well-appointed kitchen and large laundry. Closet for everything everywhere. The size and layout makes upkeep a snap. The front and deck sides have been landscaped. The driveway has been widened and a large new Tuffshed resides at the end. All this and the golf cart is included! With extensive upgrades inside and out, and a prime location near Carlsbad’s renowned beaches, shopping, dining, and top-rated schools, this move-in-ready home offers the very best of Southern California living. Thoughtfully improved and beautifully maintained, it’s a place you’ll be proud to call home. Foundation is 433A.
