Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2003 (21 years old), the property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. While the kitchen and bathrooms feature styles original to the build date (granite counters, raised-panel cabinets), the home has been refreshed with full interior paint and includes modern upgrades like owned solar. It functions perfectly without immediate need for repairs.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 68389, living area = 3841.
Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10). High School: Torrey Pines High School (9/10).
Situated on a rare 1.57-acre lot within a gated community, this property offers unparalleled privacy and space for Carmel Valley, providing a massive canvas for a pool, sport court, or ADU.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
At a $3.495M price point, the official 3-bedroom count may be perceived as low for the square footage, potentially requiring buyers to convert flex spaces to meet larger family needs.
While the lot size is a major asset, the lack of existing high-end outdoor amenities like a pool or finished resort-style grounds means the buyer will need to commit additional capital to fully realize the property's potential.
Behind the private gates of Rancho Glen Estates sits this rare single-level estate on 1.57 acres, one of Carmel Valley's largest and most private lots. At 3,841 square feet, the open floor plan impresses immediately with soaring exposed wood beam ceilings and a fresh, clean palette throughout following a full interior paint. The layout flows effortlessly and features multiple flex spaces that function perfectly as a four-bedroom home with dedicated office areas, giving every member of the household room to spread out and live comfortably. The 1.57-acre lot is the real story here. There is ample room to add a resort-style pool, regulation sport court, detached ADU for guests or multigenerational living, and extensive outdoor entertaining areas, all while maintaining the kind of privacy and open space that is nearly impossible to find in this market. A three-car garage and owned solar round out the practical side of this property, delivering both everyday convenience and meaningful long-term energy savings. Situated in the heart of one of San Diego's most sought-after school corridors, this home is zoned for Pacific Sky Elementary and Pacific Trails Middle School, with highly regarded high school options nearby rounding out an exceptional education profile. Gated. Private. Expansive. A property of this caliber and lot size rarely comes to market!
