    What's special

    Welcome to this upgraded single-level modern farmhouse located in the highly desirable community of San Marcos Farms. Beautifully decorated throughout, the home is being offered with its furniture and decor, which may convey with the sale if the buyer desires. Situated on over one acre of usable land, this exceptional property offers incredible potential to add an ADU, workshop, or equestrian facilities. Enjoy added privacy and scenic mountain views. The property extends beyond the rear fencing and up the small hill with beautiful mountain and city views, providing even more usable space and future possibilities. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with high-end stainless steel appliances, including a Viking range, Bosch fridge and dishwasher, farmhouse sink, walk-in pantry, and instant hot water at the range. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the dining area, family room, living room, and outdoor living spaces, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, dual sinks, walk-in shower, and private patio access. Additional highlights include high ceilings, low-maintenance stained concrete flooring throughout, upgraded lighting fixtures, recessed (canned) lighting, tankless water heater, barn door at the half bath, 3-car garage, space for RV and boat parking and more. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with mature trees, multiple fruit trees (apricot, apple, cherry, pomegranate and more), an herb garden, storage shed, chicken coop, and a firepit area, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Horse lovers will appreciate that the property permits up to two horses, with scenic riding trails winding throughout the area and multiple nearby equestrian facilities offering additional riding, training, and boarding options. There is NO HOA which is an added bonus. Extensively and thoughtfully upgraded, this well-maintained home offers a rare opportunity to own a versatile property with space, privacy, and charm. Don't miss this one!
