Tucked within the gated Alcala community at Whispering Palms in Rancho Santa Fe, this light-filled end-unit home offers a functional floorplan that lives like a single story. The downstairs primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings and French doors that open to the backyard patio, where a gated path leads directly to the greenbelt—creating a seamless extension of the outdoor living space. The beautifully renovated 2023 kitchen features upgraded appliances, ample storage, and a lovely view of the greenbelt. On the main level, guests will appreciate the full bathroom and bedroom currently being used as a study/library. The upstairs suite provides its own fireplace, abundant natural light and enhanced privacy adjacent to the open space. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, this cul-de-sac home also includes Sunrun leased solar. Residents enjoy prime access to the La Valle Club for golf, tennis, pickleball, and more, while being just minutes from Del Mar, Solana Beach, the Ranch and fabulous food & shopping.
