Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 2002 (22 years old), the property falls into the 'Fair' category due to age exceeding 20 years without a comprehensive renovation. While the home is exceptionally well-maintained and features newer kitchen appliances, the cabinetry, tile countertops in the bathrooms, and flooring are original to the build and appear dated by modern standards.
The floor plan features a functional ground-floor bedroom and a flexible third-car garage, perfect for a home office, gym, or multi-generational living arrangements.
Situated in a gated community near major tech hubs, top-rated schools, and Carlsbad beaches, the location offers exceptional convenience for professionals and families.
The home boasts soaring ceilings and a recently updated kitchen with new appliances and a large island, creating a contemporary and spacious atmosphere.
The 6,664 square foot lot is relatively modest for a home of nearly 3,000 square feet, which may limit options for extensive landscaping or large outdoor gatherings.
Constructed in 2002, the property is over 20 years old, meaning major mechanical systems or structural components may soon require maintenance or replacement.
Behind the gates of Buenavida sits a Mediterranean-style home with 2,971 square feet and a floor plan that doesn't waste any of it. The ceilings are the first thing people notice: tall enough to give the main rooms a real sense of occasion, and tall enough to pull the heat away. Four bedrooms, three full baths. One bedroom is on the ground floor, which quietly serves several uses at once: guest quarters, a door-closed office, or room for a parent or adult child living under the same roof. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is built around an island with genuine elbow room. A dinette sits just off it for your everyday meals, with a separate formal dining room for the occasions that ask for one. The backyard is well kept and planted with palm trees. The single third car garage can be utilized as a at home gym, off-home office, or a storage space. From here it is minutes to Carlsbad beaches, Restaurant Row, shopping centers, golf courses/clubs, Cal State San Marcos, and the 78. The surrounding corridor is dense with tech and biotech employers as well as strong schools serving the area.
