Spectacular Rancho Santalina dream home with fully owned solar and a saltwater pool and spa in one of the best locations in San Marcos! This extraordinary turnkey home includes 5 bedrooms (including one bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor), plus a large upstairs loft. The gourmet kitchen showcases granite counters, a generous eat-at kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of cabinet storage. The entire property is an entertainer's delight with a renovated butler's pantry and bar area with a wine refrigerator, a newer pool and spa with PebbleTec finish, and plenty of space to host guests around the pool. This is an exceptionally energy efficient home with 27 photovoltaic solar panels, thermal pool solar, a new heat pump (for electric heat in the home), and new AC. Mature landscaping on the hillside includes producing avocado trees. Low HOA dues include beautiful community parks and a wonderful neighborhood. San Marcos schools too! Excellent curb appeal and a great location that is just a short drive from the beach, golf courses, hiking and biking trails, shopping, dining, and more.
