Built in 2003 (21 years old), the home is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. While the kitchen features dated oak cabinetry and white appliances, the property boasts updated systems including a Nest thermostat, Cat-5 wiring, reverse osmosis, and fire sprinklers.

Situated in the highly coveted Rio Del Mar area, this property offers a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, located just minutes from local beaches, Seascape Golf Club, and the Deer Park Shopping Center.
The floor plan is thoughtfully designed with the primary suite and main living areas on the first floor for easy accessibility, while flexible additional spaces cater well to home office needs or guest accommodations.
The property features an attached carport rather than a fully enclosed garage, which may be a drawback for buyers prioritizing vehicle security or protection from the coastal elements.
While the canyon-side location provides exceptional privacy and views, the steep topography likely limits the amount of flat, functional outdoor space for traditional yard activities or gardening.
