Positioned at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Mariner’s Point, this oversized corner-lot residence offers a rare combination of privacy, open canyon views, and no rear neighbors. The setting feels calm, spacious, and increasingly hard to find in San Elijo Hills. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home balances refined design with thoughtful functionality and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The approach feels both private and welcoming, with mature landscaping framing the entry and enhancing the sense of arrival. Inside, the main level is designed for everyday ease and effortless entertaining. The expansive kitchen features a large center island, walk-in pantry, and abundant cabinetry, opening directly to the living room with fireplace and sliding doors to the backyard. The flow between spaces supports both gatherings and daily routines with equal comfort. A separate downstairs sitting room with its own fireplace provides additional living space ideal for a media lounge, playroom, or quiet retreat. The former formal dining room is currently configured as a dedicated office, offering valuable work-from-home functionality without sacrificing living areas. A main-level bedroom with private en-suite bath offers practical accommodations for guests or multigenerational living, a layout feature buyers consistently value. Upstairs, the primary suite is thoughtfully positioned for privacy, with a balcony overlooking the backyard and canyon beyond. The spa-inspired bath includes a centrally positioned soaking tub, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and an expansive wraparound closet with built-ins. Two additional bedrooms, a spacious bonus room with ocean views, and a dedicated laundry room with sink and extensive cabinetry complete the upper level, offering versatility for evolving household needs. Built-in hallway storage and a generous under-stair closet further enhance daily livability. The backyard is where this property truly distinguishes itself. Recently upgraded with a stunning saltwater pool and spa, the outdoor space was intentionally designed to maximize usability and long-term enjoyment. A built-in BBQ station with refrigerator, bar seating, and expansive prep space anchors the yard, while a gas firepit creates a comfortable gathering area. Low-maintenance turf enhances functionality, and the protected canyon backdrop ensures enduring privacy and unobstructed sunset views. San Elijo Hills is known for its rare blend of community connection and natural beauty. Miles of hiking and walking trails weave throughout the neighborhood, and nearby Double Peak Park offers panoramic coastal and mountain views residents deeply appreciate. The town center brings coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and community events together in a way that feels vibrant yet manageable. Located within the highly regarded San Marcos Unified School District, this home offers a compelling and increasingly scarce balance of privacy, flexibility, and connected community living in one of North County’s most established settings.
