About 1039 San Pablo Dr.

This lovely single-level home is perfectly positioned on the 12th fairway of the Links at Lake San Marcos championship golf course, offering a seamless blend of comfort, style, and resort-inspired living. Featuring three bedrooms, two baths, and a versatile optional room ideal for a home office or den, the layout is both functional and inviting. A hand-cut olive wood mantel crowns the stunning double-sided fireplace, creating a warm focal point shared by the living spaces, while a TV/bar island adds a modern, social touch—perfect for entertaining or relaxed evenings at home. The current owners have installed a Pure Water water purification system, providing filtered water throughout the home. The drinking water goes through an additional system that provides triple filtered water. This system decalcifies the water so there is no buildup and makes the water much softer. Cost of this system was about $7,000. They have made repairs/replacement to some of the main line and bathroom drain lines at a cost of more than $26,000. All recently completed plumbing work is covered by a 50 year warranty. The remodeled kitchen (2019) is a true showstopper, designed with both beauty and practicality in mind. Quartzite natural stone countertops pair effortlessly with LG and Bosch stainless steel appliances, while recessed lighting beneath the cabinets enhances both ambiance and function. A massive island anchors the space, featuring an in-island microwave drawer and an eat-in bar that invites gathering. Coffered ceilings in the living and dining rooms elevate the architectural appeal, and Solatubes throughout the home fill the spaces with soft, natural light. The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with built-in dressers and an ensuite bath offering a walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Just beyond, a light and airy sunroom (372 sq. ft.) and a cozy sitting room (144 sq. ft.) provide additional flexible living areas; while not permitted or included in the square footage, they enhance the home’s livability and connection to the outdoors. Recent upgrades include a new roof in 2024, furnace and A/C are approximately three years old, and all new windows were installed in 2017—offering peace of mind for years to come. Custom shades on the sunroom windows provide privacy but allow occupants to enjoy the gorgeous golf course view. Outside, the back yard invites relaxation with a covered patio and private putting green, while the two-car garage plus separate golf cart garage (currently used for storage) adds convenience. Located just a short distance from Brickman’s at the Lakehouse Resort—known for its retro vibe, live music, and daily dining options—this home embodies resort-style living with no HOA fees. Optional community security is available through the nonprofit Lake San Marcos Security Patrol, funded by voluntary subscriptions. Set within one of the most livable communities in Southern California, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy comfort, character, and an unbeatable lifestyle.
