About this home
New price! Rare, remodeled SINGLE LEVEL ranch home set back on a private, quiet view lot in the sought-after West side of the Covenant! A major top-to-bottom REMODEL in 2020 included all new European white oak floors, chef's kitchen with imported Italian tile and quartz counters, custom cabinetry, Subzero Refrigerator, Viking Stove, Miele Dishwasher, and an in-drawer Wolf Microwave. Exquisite European marble in the renovated bathrooms and laundry room. Designer tile flanks the living room fireplace with patio doors to a private covered porch. The owners completely rebuilt the roof in 2024 and added PAID solar. The home has central air conditioning, is connected to SEWER and high-speed fiber internet was recently installed. Beautiful, lush views follow the meandering driveway to a private oasis with intimate patios surrounded by lush landscaping. NOTHING LIKE THIS on the market in RSF that offers modern comforts, exquisite finishes and an ideal location with views!

Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1957, this property underwent a major top-to-bottom remodel in 2020, including new European white oak floors, a chef's kitchen with imported Italian tile, quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances (Subzero, Viking, Miele, Wolf). Bathrooms feature exquisite European marble. The roof was completely rebuilt in 2024, and paid solar was added. All major systems, finishes, and features are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards, aligning perfectly with the 'excellent' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Remodel & Luxury Finishes: The property underwent a major top-to-bottom remodel in 2020, featuring European white oak floors, a chef's kitchen with high-end appliances (Subzero, Viking, Miele, Wolf), imported Italian tile, quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and exquisite European marble in bathrooms and laundry.
Prime Location & Views: Situated on a private, quiet view lot in the sought-after West side of the Covenant, offering lush views and an ideal location within Rancho Santa Fe.
Modern Infrastructure & Energy Efficiency: Features a completely rebuilt roof (2024), paid solar panels, central air conditioning, connection to sewer, and recently installed high-speed fiber internet, ensuring modern comfort and lower utility costs.
Single-Level Layout: A rare single-level ranch home, highly desirable for its accessibility and open flow, appealing to a broad range of buyers.
Privacy & Outdoor Oasis: Set back on a private lot, offering a quiet oasis with intimate patios, a private covered porch, and lush landscaping, creating a serene living environment.
Cons
Original Construction Age: Despite extensive remodels, the home was originally built in 1957, which may raise concerns for some buyers regarding the underlying structure or systems not covered by the 2020 renovation.
Relatively Modest Square Footage for Price Point: With 1848 sqft for 3 beds/3 baths, the interior living space might be considered smaller compared to other luxury properties in the Rancho Santa Fe market, potentially limiting the buyer pool seeking larger estates.
Large Lot, Potentially Limited Usable Flat Space: While the lot size is substantial (79279 sqft), the description emphasizes 'intimate patios' and a 'meandering driveway,' which could imply a significant portion of the large parcel is sloped or undeveloped, rather than expansive flat usable land for extensive outdoor amenities.
