Golf Course Living in Lake San Marcos | Modern Bungalow | Tucked into the coveted Lion’s Gate enclave, this fully reimagined modern bungalow offers the rare blend of privacy, charm, and front-row views. Positioned on a corner lot above the 18th tee of The Exec course, the home captures the relaxed luxury that defines Lake San Marcos living. Inside, clean lines meet thoughtful upgrades—from a custom bar and designer kitchen with brand-new appliances to wide-plank flooring, a gas fireplace, and newer roof. Two outdoor living spaces extend the experience: a tranquil front courtyard for slow mornings, and a covered back patio that opens to sunset skies and the rolling greens beyond. Effortless, elegant, and ready to welcome you home. Celebrated as one of North County’s “Best Places to Live,” Lake San Marcos is a charming lakeside community with sweeping views toward the San Marcos foothills and distant Palomar Mountain range—yet just minutes from the Carlsbad coastline. Residents enjoy access to unmatched amenities including two stunning 18-hole golf courses, pools, tennis and pickleball courts, billiards, boat and kayak rentals, lakeside concerts, award-winning restaurants like Amalfi Cucina Italiana and the waterfront Marina Bar, and endless recreation amenities on the lake. Walk to nearly everything, including scenic trails and top-rated San Marcos High School, part of the award-winning San Marcos Unified School District. With its vibrant lifestyle and timeless setting, this is more than a home—it’s an experience. And there’s truly nothing else like it.
