Property Description

Experience modern sophistication and laid-back North County charm in the gated enclave of Rancho Tesoro. This 2019-built community offers breathtaking views of rolling foothills and vibrant California sunsets. Enjoy exclusive access to “The Cabana” resort-style pool, BBQ pavilions, and lush parks. At the heart of this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home is a showstopper kitchen where culinary dreams come alive—imagine a generous quartz island with ample seating, premium stainless appliances, and a custom-built bar area, perfect for everything from lively weekend brunches to cozy weeknight dinners. The open-concept great room, bathed in natural light and grounded by luxury plank flooring, invites connection and relaxation. The thoughtful layout offers ultimate flexibility. Step inside to a sunlit home office or optional fourth bedroom with expansive under-stairs storage. Upstairs, a versatile bonus loft adapts to your lifestyle as a media lounge or creative studio.
