The attic was professionally cleared and mitigated prior to insulation installation, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the home's maintenance history. Water quality receives equal attention through a RainSoft whole-house water softening and reverse osmosis system connected at the meter, allowing softened water throughout the residence. A dedicated filtered drinking-water station at the kitchen sink provides an additional layer of convenience. The attached two-car garage has been enhanced with an epoxy flake floor finish along with a new garage door motor, belt system, sensors, controls, and remotes. Additional exterior improvements include a new front patio gate and a custom enclosure around the HVAC condenser. Beyond the home itself, the location supports an appealing North County lifestyle.
