ELEVATED LIVING IN LAKE SAN MARCOS’ MOST COVETED ENCLAVE Welcome to an exceptional single-story retreat in the highly sought-after Mall IV enclave of Lake San Marcos, where modern upgrades meet an unmatched lakeside lifestyle. This beautifully remodeled 4-bedroom, 2-bath home spans 1,940 sq. ft. and offers a rare blend of privacy, style, and exclusive community amenities. This is a home that truly must be experienced in person—the photos simply don’t capture its warmth, flow, and setting. The light-filled, open floor plan showcases fresh designer staging, new flooring throughout, and a contemporary color palette that feels both inviting and elevated. The reimagined kitchen is a standout, featuring quartz countertops, a large center island, and a generous butler’s pantry—ideal for entertaining or everyday living. The primary suite is a peaceful sanctuary with direct access to a private courtyard, a spacious walk-in closet, and an updated en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms, plus a versatile flex room exclusive to this floor plan, provide ideal space for guests, a home office, or creative use. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully upgraded with modern finishes and fixtures. Major system upgrades—including a newer roof, HVAC, plumbing, and water heater—offer comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. What truly sets this property apart is access to Mall IV’s private, resident-only amenities, shared by just 54 homes: a sparkling pool, putting green, lush greenbelt, and a shared dock. Enjoy morning coffee by the water, relaxed afternoons poolside, or evening sunsets just steps from your front door. All of this is nestled within the vibrant Lake San Marcos community, known for boating, golf, dining, and year-round social activities—conveniently located near beaches, shopping, and major freeways.
