This single-story gem offers tranquility and an unbeatable San Marcos location with no HOA and no Mello-Roos! Set on a huge secluded lot, this home feels private while close to everything. Minutes from shopping, restaurants, schools, Kaiser, Scripps, Palomar College, Cal State San Marcos, Discovery Lake, hiking trails, and quick freeway access. The homeowners have lovingly maintained this home including updating the roof, adding a tankless water heater, and recently sealing the expansive driveway which has plenty of parking with an additional gated space perfect for your RV, trailer, or weekend toys. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting living space anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfect for quiet nights at home. The open kitchen is perfect for cooking and dining with beautiful cabinetry. The flexible layout also includes four bedrooms, with one currently being used as a small office, providing room for everyday living. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with glass-enclosed showers for comfort and style. The backyard is a dream with a deck and large grass area then a separate gated garden. Zoned for Discovery Elementary, San Elijo Middle School, and San Marcos High School.
