    This gorgeous San Marcos home is a five minute walk to beautiful Discovery Lake, which is surrounded by extensive trails in the Double Peak Reserve. Zoned for the most highly acclaimed schools in San Marcos, including Discovery Elementary, San Elijo Middle School, Double Peak K-8, and San Marcos High School. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbors, this open-concept home with vaulted ceilings and grand view windows is a stalwart example of well-designed interior space that flows into a magnificent outdoor space. The lot is elevated and large, with no homes on the 120 foot back fence. Hummingbirds and songbirds visit the backyard often to enjoy the many flowering plants. And with 12 fruit trees, raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries, and strawberries, along with a vibrant vegetable and herb garden, there is plenty of nutrient-rich food to harvest for your family! Located in the highly desirable community of Discovery Lake with no HOA and just 2 blocks from Lakeview Park and Discovery Lake! The main bedroom boasts a walkout deck with stunning 180 degree views and an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub, dual head shower, and double sinks. The two additional bedrooms are also located upstairs with stunning views of Double Peak and palm trees swaying in the wind, and they share a full bathroom with double sinks. In the wrap around backyard you will find a 450 square foot Alaskan cedar deck, a large lawn, landscaped DG for an above ground firepit area, a BBQ patio, a kids secluded play area with two play kitchens, a storage shed, and a shed converted to an at-home office, fully insulated with two screened windows, overhead lights, 120V AC outlets, an AC unit, hardwood floors, and built in shelves. The front of the house has a welcoming layout with walkable paving stones that make a lovely path to a charming wood porch swing with views of iconic Double Peak. Enjoy an extra wide driveway for spacious parking, along with a two car garage with remote-controlled door and a 240V AC outlet for your electric car or RV. The home comes equipped with a large solar power system that averages 7 megawatts of electricity production annually, providing an ample amount of power for all your electrical needs. This gem of a Discovery Lake home is in a quiet neighborhood close to multiple grocery stores, CVS pharmacy, medical facilities, fabulous restaurants, Discovery Elementary, miles of paved and unpaved trails for biking, hiking, or just walking the dog. Discovery Lake and South Lake are each minutes away and offer excellent fishing. With quick freeway access to both the 78 freeway and 15 freeway, your commute to work or a day trip to San Diego or Orange County are made easy. In addition to all these amenities being just minutes from the home, you are only a short drive to Lake San Marcos; the San Marcos branch of the San Diego County Library; multiple parks with tennis courts and pickleball courts; the Alga Norte Aquatic Center; the Double Peak Preserve, the La Costa Preserve, and the Elfin Forest Preserve; Play by Play Productions; Legoland, the Carlsbad Flower Fields, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Downtown Zoo, and Sea World; and of course, several breathtaking beaches to choose from just 20 minutes from your front door. It's no wonder that San Marcos was named by Forbes Magazines as one of the Top 10 Cities for Families in America. This rare find of a home affords you the opportunity to experience the exceptional quality of life that San Marcos offers. The renter is responsible for all utilities. The house comes with a solar power system that keeps electrical bills very low. We average $30 per month for electrical and $20 per month for natural gas. 1 year lease, renewable.
