This single level Fire Mountain beauty has it all and its on over a 1/4 acre flat, usable lot! An open floor plan with hickory hardwood flooring throughout the living space and fresh paint. The kitchen remodel features Kraftmaid cabinets with soft close drawers, Caesarstone countertops and a handsfree faucet for convenience. Generous sized Primary bedroom features just completed bathroom remodel with brand new tiled walk-in shower, sliding glass doors, new vanity, decorative hexagon tile flooring, updated mirrors and lighting fixtures. The guest bathroom has also been completely remodeled floor to ceiling. There are 3 additional bedrooms to allow space for family or to work at home with plenty of room for guests. And that backyard! Space to create your own private oasis and even to add an ADU if you should choose to make some rental income. Other upgrades include energy efficient windows, newer roof, new furnace and water heater, A/C, Nest thermostat connected to the smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detector and a list of other things that make this house extra special. In addition, its close to Palmquist elementary school and Lincoln middle school, Trader Joes, Target, Walmart and lots of other shopping on the 78 corridor. Its also, just a short e-bike ride to the beach or to downtown Oceanside to meet with friends and check out all of the great restaurants and bars this city has to offer!
