"Paid Solar + Tesla Battery + Kitchen Goals + Open Space Views = Carmel Mountain Ranch Jackpot!" WHAT WE LOVE: This is the rare Carmel Mountain Ranch home that saves you money and delivers lifestyle. Paid solar + Tesla Powerwall slash utility bills and keep the lights on when others go dark. Add in a brand-new HVAC system + ceiling fans in every bedroom, and you’ve got year-round comfort + efficiency built in. Inside, the showstopper is the fully reimagined kitchen: wide open flow, tons of cabinet storage, island, quartz counters, backsplash, stainless appliances, custom lighting and undermount sink. Step out through dual sliders to pavers, turf, raised garden beds, and—most importantly—no neighbor behind you .. just an open space with mature trees + hiking trails. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT…): The remodel trumps the old boxed-in layout into one big heart of the home, perfect for cooking, gathering, and everyday flow. Bathrooms got the refresh too—half bath downstairs + hall bath upstairs. Combine that with oak-tone, wide-plank LVP flooring, cohesive lighting, and you’ve got turnkey style top to bottom. Outdoors, it’s a private escape: low-maintenance hardscape + turf that open straight to a natural green belt, rare for this neighborhood! Add walkability to Highland Ranch Elementary and Carmel Mountain Plaza (Costco, Sprouts, dining), Poway schools, and quick freeway access, and you’ve got efficiency, lifestyle, and location all in one.
