About this home

Nestled in Walden, one of Carmel Mountain Ranch's most coveted enclaves, this completely reimagined residence delivers the rare combination of location and impeccable design. Thoughtfully remodeled from top to bottom, the home showcases a brand-new chef's kitchen anchored by a center island, custom cabinetry, and all-new stainless steel appliances. The light-filled floor plan rises to dramatic vaulted ceilings, while natural light create an effortless sense of openness and scale. A main-level bedroom with adjacent full bath offers flexibility rarely found—perfect for home office, parents/in-laws or multigenerational living. Four bedrooms, three baths, and a premium lot backing to mature trees with no neighbors directly behind ensure a serene, private setting. The oversized 3-car garage, finished with new epoxy flooring, is a standout in its own right. Low HOA. Award-winning Poway Unified schools. Minutes to the 56, 15, and 5, with Del Mar's beaches, shopping, and dining just beyond. Turnkey, model-perfect, and truly move-in ready—residences of this caliber in Walden seldom come to market.
