Tucked among lush, mature greenery with peaceful sunset views, this home offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility — a retreat that feels worlds away, yet keeps you close to everything Rancho Bernardo has to offer. This 2 bed, 2 bath, 1,431 esf home with a versatile den/office is nestled in the desirable 55+ Oaks North 2 community, offering standout features that set it apart from the rest. Thoughtful recent updates include LVP and tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, updated bathroom cabinetry with granite countertops, brushed nickel hardware, an owned water filtration system, and wood shutters throughout. The refrigerator, washer, dryer, and Murphy bed all convey — making this home truly move-in ready. Step inside through a formal entry with a convenient coat closet, setting a warm and welcoming tone from the moment you arrive. The open living and dining areas are anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and flow effortlessly out to the patio, blending indoor comfort with outdoor beauty — surrounded by mature trees and seasonal blooms that change with the year. The kitchen has natural light from a window overlooking the front porch. It features ample white cabinets with brushed nickel hardware and newer stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and flat electric cooktop with oven. Both bedrooms and the den are positioned at the rear of the home, so you can take in the scenic views from nearly every living space. Mirrored wardrobe closets add style and function to both bedrooms, while the primary suite goes further with two mirrored closets, a walk-in tiled shower, and a separate privacy door for the shower and toilet area. Both bathrooms are finished with large tri-view mirrored medicine cabinets — doubling as vanity mirrors and generous hidden storage. The secondary bath features a tub-and-shower combo with tiled walls, a glass enclosure, and matching upgraded finishes. A hallway laundry closet keeps the side-by-side washer and dryer tucked away with extra storage close at hand. Outside, the spacious front porch combines outdoor carpet and artificial turf for flexible living space — perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. A rare bonus: this home includes a 7' fenced front patio, a feature not found elsewhere in the community. Additional perks include a detached one-car garage just outside the unit (not all units come with one), the option to rent nearby storage, and central heating and air conditioning. This is a first-floor unit, reached via 6 steps down from the front gated entry to the front door. Residents enjoy access to the Oaks North Community Center with amenities including a pool and spa, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, lawn bowling, creative studios, library, card rooms, and community gathering spaces. Conveniently located near Oaks North Golf Course and Bernardo Winery, with nearby dining, shopping, and local events.
