With everything on one level, the home is easy to live in and easy to maintain. The living areas are comfortable and well connected, and the kitchen works well for everyday cooking and for having people over. The three bedrooms give you options for guest rooms, a home office, or a hobby space. The backyard is built for enjoying San Diego weather. The in-ground pool has room around it for patio furniture and a barbecue, and it gets plenty of use well past the summer months. The owned solar system helps keep utility costs down, which makes a real difference in East County summers. Because it's owned rather than leased, there's no monthly solar payment to take over. Dedicated RV or boat parking is also hard to find, so it's a big plus for anyone with a trailer, camper, or weekend toys. The home is close to East County shopping, restaurants, and parks, with convenient freeway access. Contact us to schedule a private showing.
