Welcome to the Courtyards of Escala, Mission Valley’s premier gated community! This gorgeous three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome offers one of the most desirable floor plans in all of Escala. With only two levels, this turnkey home features a spacious layout with an open-concept design, a private patio yard, an attached two-car garage, plus a driveway with room for two additional vehicles. The Courtyards are one of the most desirable enclaves in the Escala due to a more spacious layout, providing you with additional privacy and more guest parking than most. Inside, you will find an open floor plan with a combined living room and dining area, and an upgraded kitchen. A convenient half bath is located on the main level, along with a private patio with a retractable sun shade. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features large windows allowing for ample natural light, a walk-in closet, and a recently remodeled bath with dual vanities, stone countertops, and a sleek walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with dual vanities. Additional highlights include a separate laundry room, built-in hallway cabinetry, ceiling fans in each bedroom, and fresh carpeting throughout.

The private recreation center features two sparkling pools (including a lap pool), a relaxing spa, a well-equipped fitness center, lighted tennis courts, a clubhouse with a full kitchen and entertainment space, BBQ and picnic areas, and a children’s playground. Miles of scenic walking trails wind throughout the community, and there’s even a dedicated dog park for your four-legged companions. Ideally located in the heart of Mission Valley, this home offers unbeatable access to all that San Diego has to offer.
