[Supplement]: Perfectly positioned in South Carlsbad's La Costa Knolls neighborhood, just blocks away from the conveniences of La Costa Town Square, top-rated La Costa Canyon High School and active Stagecoach Community Park, this 3 bed, 3 bath charmer lives large on its 9,900-sq-ft lot. Vaulted, dramatically angled ceilings add airiness to the open sunken living room and formal dining room spaces, which flow seamlessly into a large, window-filled kitchen with ample soft-close Kraftmaid cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A bar-height counter with seating connects to a family or media room complete with a fireplace and sliding doors that lead to a back patio-perfect for BBQs and al fresco entertaining, with a large grass-covered area (and the extra space to install a pool, spa or more). Please note: Backyard opens up to Rancho La Costa Preserve which has miles of hiking/biking trails that not only give you a peek ocean view, but the trails go all the way out to Elfin Fores When it's time to retire, while the 2nd story bedrooms are spacious, the master notably features a luxe jetted tub, heated floors, and a walk-in closet. The garage is fully lined with cabinets and a workbench atop painted floors; plus newer HVAC system. NO HOA, NO MELLO-ROOS!
