This is a short sale, subject to lender approval. This home has main character energy. Even though it’s located in Escondido, it’s zoned for the award winning San Marcos School District . Set in the24/7 guard gated community of Emerald Heights, this 4 bedroom 3 bathroom stunner also includes an optional fifth bedroom currently used as a spacious loft, perfect for a playroom, office, or upstairs lounge space where the kids can be loud and the adults can pretend not to hear it. It has the space, upgrades, and lifestyle perks you’ve been manifesting. Downstairs has been completely refreshed with brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new light fixtures, and new windows that let the sunshine pour in like it's being paid to. The kitchen opens right into the family room and out to the backyard where a peaceful water feature and relaxing spool are waiting to elevate your weekends. Upstairs you’ll find four legit bedrooms, the loft, and two full bathrooms. Newer paint and carpet keep everything feeling fresh. Leased solar keeps things efficient and affordable. The dining area brings the drama with a showpiece light fixture, ready for everything from takeout nights to holiday dinners. Living in Emerald Heights means access to an Olympic size pool, spa, toddler pool, renovated clubhouse and gym, tennis and basketball courts, on site management, and nonstop community events. Think Music at Sunset, pool parties, holiday events for kids and grown ups, Easter with the Bunny, casino night, and more.
