Set directly on the 12th fairway of The Links at Lakehouse Resort, this is one of the rare homes in Lake San Marcos where the golf course really is the backyard. It's a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,700-square-foot single-level home, carefully updated to pair the warmth of its mid-century roots with the polish of a modern remodel. Inside, an open floor plan fills with natural light and fairway views framed by mature oaks. The remodeled kitchen sits at the center, with a generous island, quartz counters, wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances that work as well for a morning cup of coffee as they do for hosting a crowd. A gas fireplace warms the living area, and the living and dining spaces open toward the course, so the fairway ends up feeling like part of the floor plan.The primary suite looks out over the 12th hole, with morning light and end-of-day color that never gets old. The second bedroom works easily as a guest room, a home office, or a studio, and both bathrooms have been refreshed with clean, modern finishes. Beneath the finishes, the big-ticket items have already been handled: new roof, new HVAC, and a complete re-pipe. With a $540/year HOA and no Mello-Roos, the carrying cost stays refreshingly low for a home on The Links. Beyond the property line, the Lake San Marcos lifestyle does most of the talking. A 75-acre private lake, two 18-hole courses, a full marina, pickleball and tennis, resort pools, and Brickman's just off the 18th green. Carlsbad beaches are twenty minutes west; downtown San Diego is forty-five south.
