Offering the convenience of a first-story walk-up entry and a private patio, this home provides an inviting indoor-outdoor lifestyle in one of San Diego’s most centrally located neighborhoods. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, plush carpet in the bedroom, and dual-pane windows that enhance comfort (see suppl) and energy efficiency. The living room and bedroom are each equipped with their own mini-split HVAC systems, allowing for individualized climate control year-round. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living space, while the in-unit stackable washer and dryer add everyday convenience. Positioned in a quiet location within the community, the home is just a short distance from the heated pool, spa, fitness center, and beautifully maintained grounds. A deeded parking space provides dedicated parking, while the gated community offers a resort-style atmosphere with amenities designed to enhance daily living.
