About this home

All four bedrooms have walk-in closets. So well thought out. I haven't seen this much attention to family needs before. The second bedroom (not the master) has the walk-in, yes, and a full bathroom. Let's call that the princess or prince room. You'll notice that the walls and flooring are in pristine condition. The back of the home faces west high on a hill with panoramic views. The constant breeze will keep you cool, if you open the back windows, although the home has A/C if you prefer. The kitchen has all the top of the line appliances and a pantry. Everything in this home is in tip top condition. The low-maintenance backyard features a premium built-in barbecue and a fully fenced yard with a see-through design to preserve the panoramic vistas. Inside, the home showcases rich Armstrong Hickory wood flooring on the main level and elegant plantation wood shutters throughout. The open-concept kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room and includes a center island, granite countertops and backsplashes, a walk-in pantry, and top-of-the-line appliances. A separate dining area (table and select furnishings available for sale) enhances the space for entertaining. Rancho Santalina offers three community play areas, including a nearby tot lot, open green space, and a larger park just half a block away with play structures, basketball courts, and picnic tables. Located in the acclaimed San Marcos Unified School District—home to award-winning San Marcos High School—this property is also convenient to freeways, shopping, dining, Palomar College, and California State University San Marcos.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Views: The home is situated high on a hill, offering stunning panoramic views to the west, including vistas preserved by a see-through fence design in the low-maintenance backyard.
Exceptional Condition & High-End Finishes: The property is described as being in 'pristine condition' and 'tip top condition,' featuring rich Armstrong Hickory wood flooring, elegant plantation wood shutters, and top-of-the-line kitchen appliances.
Thoughtful Family-Oriented Layout: All four bedrooms include walk-in closets, and a secondary bedroom boasts a walk-in closet and full bathroom, indicating a well-designed space catering to family needs.
Modern & Well-Equipped Kitchen: The open-concept kitchen is a highlight, featuring a center island, granite countertops and backsplashes, a walk-in pantry, and seamless flow into the family room, equipped with high-end appliances.
Desirable Community & School District: Located in Rancho Santalina, residents benefit from three community play areas and are part of the acclaimed San Marcos Unified School District, including award-winning San Marcos High School, with convenient access to colleges, freeways, shopping, and dining.

Cons

Modest Lot Size: With a lot size of 4065 sqft for a 2479 sqft home, the outdoor space is relatively limited, which might not appeal to buyers seeking a large yard for extensive gardening or outdoor activities.
Ongoing Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $95.0, which represents an additional recurring cost for homeowners.
West-Facing Sun Exposure: While offering panoramic views, the west-facing orientation can lead to significant afternoon sun exposure and heat gain, potentially increasing reliance on the A/C system during warmer months despite natural breezes.
