Light, bright, and cheerful home situated on an elevated VIEW lot in a desirable 55+ rent-controlled community! With no neighbors directly across the street, you’ll enjoy unobstructed panoramic views of the rolling hills and valleys to the east, snow-capped mountains to the northeast, and spectacular sunrises each morning. Enjoy peace of mind knowing the following were all replaced in 2026: roof, HVAC system, exterior paint, stove/oven, toilets, and the home has received termite clearance. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinetry and room for a cozy breakfast nook. Stay comfortable year-round with the new central A/C and three ceiling fans throughout the home. The primary suite features dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, while the generously sized guest bedroom includes its own private ensuite bathroom—perfect for visitors. All appliances convey, and most furnishings are available to be included with the sale. Relax on the recently refurbished front porch while taking in the incredible views, or enjoy the more private patio tucked behind the home. A large storage shed with electricity provides excellent space for hobbies, a workshop, or additional storage. Located in a sought-after rent-controlled community with an exceptionally low monthly space rent of just $677.61. Palomar Estates East is a very active and social 5* community – check out the photos to see some of the amenities this community has to offer! Convenient to shopping, restaurants, Lake San Marcos, two golf courses at Lake San Marcos, another golf course nearby off Twin Oaks, entertainment, lots of parks and trails, the San Marcos Senior Center, and just a short 8 mile drive to Carlsbad beaches!
