Welcome to 412 Dakota Way - Ivey Pointe community gem in Oceanside! This bright, 2-story home blends coastal ease with suburban comfort. Just past the low maintenance, water-wise front yard landscaping, a private gate welcomes you to a colorful private courtyard. The thoughtfully laid out 1st floor welcomes you with morning sun filtering through plantation shutters in both the living and dining rooms; there is also a convenient 1/2 bath. The kitchen features recessed lighting, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, including a 2-year-old side-by-side refrigerator. From the dining area, step out to a relaxing stamped concrete patio complete with stone planter, BBQ island, and fire pit. Enjoy hillside views with no rear neighbors, a covered patio with ceiling fan, and plenty of breeze and birdsongs. The entire 2nd floor has newly installed carpet, and plantation shutters continue throughout. It offers 3 bedrooms plus a large, light-filled loft with a built-in desk (which can easily convert to a 4th bedroom should the need arise). The primary suite includes 2 mirrored closets and a private bath, while the other 2 bedrooms have full length closets. There is also a laundry room with electric and gas hookups, a washer and dryer, and storage cabinets. The attached 2-car garage provides plentiful built-in cabinets and a work bench for your storage and projects. A new water heater has also been installed recently (late 2025). Ideally located in the heart of Oceanside, this home is just minutes from the beach and the iconic Oceanside Pier, shopping, dining, entertainment and within walking distance of 3 local schools.
