Welcome to the one-of-a-kind hilltop gem community that is Emerald Heights! This gorgeous house is uniquely positioned as the last home on the main drive that drops into a huge cul-de-sac, offering an unparalleled sense of seclusion. With only one neighboring property and no homes behind or across the street, you’ll be able to enjoy uninterrupted panoramic valley views, refreshing sea breezes, and spectacular sunsets, as these original owners have for many years. You can see this house has been lovingly maintained, and is ready to welcome and embrace its next family’s chapter! The main suite features an extra-large bath, and French doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the valley. Home upgrades include a 4.58 kW solar system, attic fan, and whole-house water conditioning system. The 3-car garage is fully finished with epoxy flooring and built-in storage. This home is served by San Marcos schools: the newly rebuilt Richland Elementary, San Marcos Middle, and Mission Hills High School. Emerald Heights offers a resort lifestyle, including 24/7 guard gated security. Amenities include an elegant clubhouse with kitchen and conference room, shaded playground, community parks, fitness center, lighted sports courts, and an Olympic-size pool, spa, and wading pool. The HOA hosts many community events, such as the Easter egg hunt, 4th of July parade, movie nights, Casino Night, and pool parties. Emerald Heights offers convenient access to the 15 and 78 freeways, connecting easily to North County shopping, dining, and recreation. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a truly special North County retreat!
