The Fairways is THE Favorite at Lake San Marcos! Who knew that 2 bedrooms/2 baths could be this classy and luxurious, all with an ocean view?! Open the gate to your own oasis with lush landscaping and a very private yard that leads up to your front door. Your living room is bathed in light from the many windows that showcase the stunning view while you cozy up to the fireplace and relax! The dining room has a sliding door which opens to your patio where you have plenty of room to barbecue and dine or lounge outside, taking in that view of The Pacific. Cooking is a breeze in this kitchen that was set up with that "perfect triangle" and includes stainless steel appliances. We can't forget the granite countertops and the plethora of storage in the kitchen, and of course there is a laundry room for your convenience, because no one wants to go to the garage to do your laundry! The primary suite is perfectly sized with a desk area for work, and the primary bath has a sunken tub, a shower, and a fabulous l o n g counter with double sinks. Two spacious closets provide plenty of room for your wardrobe- perfect for getting dressed up for a night out at local favorite, Amalfi, just a short walk away. You are sure to want to use the fabulous community pool, play golf in the nearby golf course, or just explore around beautiful Lake San Marcos. You choose! This perfect location at 1209 Via Rafael is close to it all, where you can have it all, including leased solar with a Tesla battery, too. We can’t wait for you to take a tour and fall in love!
