Rarely does a home deliver this combination: a complete, designer-level renovation and panoramic golf course views — all on a single story in the Lake San Marcos community. Every detail has been thoughtfully reimagined, from the solid walnut front door to the beautifully finished interior, where garden, green space, and golf course views pour in from every window. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a full backsplash, and a dramatic waterfall island. Premium stainless appliances include a smart refrigerator, 5-burner range, and microwave drawer. A pass-through to the dining area and sliding doors to the backyard create effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The bright, skylit living room anchors the space with a wood-burning fireplace, custom mantle, and an open connection to the dining and kitchen areas. Both bathrooms are fully renovated with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Moen® fixtures, and frameless glass-door showers with porcelain tile surround. The spacious primary suite features tranquil views of the rose garden and golf course beyond. Throughout: LVP flooring, recessed lighting, shaker-style doors, Decora® switches and outlets, Nest® thermostat, and dual-pane windows. Backing to the Hole 15 tee box and positioned outside the direct line of play, the backyard opens to sweeping fairway and foothill views — offering the beauty of a golf course setting without the worry, and perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining. Enjoy nearby access to golf, kayaking, paddleboarding, and boat rentals on the lake — an optional resort membership unlocks gym, pools, tennis, pickleball, event spaces, and boat mooring. Lakeside dining at Amalfi and the Marina Bar, local favorite Brickmans on the course, top-rated schools, and coast just 8 miles away. No HOA. Termite clearance provided. Homes with this level of finish, this setting, and these views are a rare find. Full amenities list uploaded to MLS.
