This beautifully updated ranch-style home, sits on a corner lot, in a well established Fallbrook neighborhood. Enjoy the lovely flower gardens in the front yard as you enter the home and take in the welcoming, semi-open floor plan. The formal dining room flows into the living room where you can't help but notice the dramatic, beamed wood ceiling and rounded fireplace. The living space opens to the recently remodeled kitchen. The large eat-in kitchen features scraped bamboo wood composite flooring, a subway tile backsplash and granite countertops, with a Blanco sink. Down the hall are three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom features, not one but two closets and an en-suite bath. Enjoy entertaining in the tranquil, backyard that includes a covered patio, built-in barbecue, fresh landscaping, privacy fencing and established fruit trees, with new water efficient irrigation and drainage. True pride of ownership shows with the recent addition of 12" insulation throughout the entire attic to help heating/cooling, a newer water heater and fresh exterior paint. Pack your bags and move right in, but don't forget your R. V. or boat because there is parking for them as well.
