There's a particular ease to life in La Costa. This townhome is well-positioned between Encinitas, Carlsbad, and San Marcos, with Trader Joe's and Sprouts just minutes away at Bressi Ranch and the Vons practically down the street. The neighborhood has a settled, comfortable feel, and with a community pool steps from the front door and a nearby gym, the rhythm of daily life here is easy to settle into. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is the kind of place where mornings start slowly and evenings end well. At 1,851 square feet, the home has been updated throughout. New windows and new flooring run through the main living areas, and the kitchen earns its keep with a Fisher & Paykel induction range, a Bosch dishwasher, a Haier refrigerator, an LG microwave, a built-in Thermador coffee maker for café-quality mornings without leaving the house, a wine fridge, and an under-sink water filter. The primary suite features a custom closet, a gorgeous bathroom with a soaking tub, and a separate shower. The laundry area is outfitted with a new LG washer and dryer. New A/C, a solar system with backup battery, and a Tesla charger in the two-car garage round out a home that has been genuinely prepared for the next owner. The private patio is a real retreat. This is the kind of spot that earns daily use, especially as the sky shifts at the end of the day. Upstairs, the guest bedroom has an ocean view and plenty of space for a bedroom and a home gym or office. Outside, the landscaping is low-maintenance and well-kept — trees, grass, and greenery without the upkeep — making the whole property feel cared for without demanding much in return.
