Welcome to this beautiful single-story home in the highly desirable gated community of Ocean Terrace! Ideally situated at the end of a private cul-de-sac, this beautiful home enjoys sweeping mountain views and backs to a private preserve, offering a rare sense of privacy with no neighbors behind you. The thoughtfully updated kitchen and bathrooms feature European-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and a sophisticated modern palette of grey and black. The open, functional floor plan is designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Formal living and dining rooms provide inviting spaces for hosting family and friends, while the spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space, sleek black appliances, and a seamless connection to the family room, complete with a fireplace and built-in media center. The relaxing primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet with custom organizers, a private water closet, walk-in shower, and an extra large jetted tub. Previously a four-bedroom home, the second and third bedrooms have been thoughtfully combined into one exceptionally large bedroom, creating the potential for a second primary suite or versatile bonus space. Additional highlights include OWNED SOLAR panels, a three-car garage, and an extra-long driveway providing plenty of parking for guests. Step outside to the fully fenced backyard, where a charming pergola creates the perfect setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the peace and serenity of this private outdoor retreat. With the tranquil preserve directly behind the home, the backyard offers exceptional privacy and a wonderful connection to nature. Located just minutes from the Pacific Ocean, beautiful beaches, Calavera Preserve's scenic hiking and walking trails, world-class golf, shopping, dining, and all that North County San Diego has to offer, this is a special home you won't want to miss! ***Some images virtually enhanced; See virtual tour link to view all original Hi-Res photos, video and 3D tour.
