Live a life of simplicity, sport, sun & fun in the desirable High Country Villas, a Spanish dream community for 55+ that has all the advantages & convenience of Encinitas coastal life, yet a close proximity to gorgeous woodsy Rancho Santa Fe. This sunny & bright 2 bed/2 bath villa will enchant with a combination of modern remodeling & a hint of European charm. Unlike many of the other units in the community, there are TWO patios for enjoying California sunshine, relaxing & entertaining: The front patio is a charming herringbone brick, where you can enjoy morning coffee in a rocker while you watch the mature front maple sway in the breeze. The private back patio has a no maintenance vinyl fence & faces a greenbelt walking/strolling path. Here you can enjoy barbecuing, relaxing or dining al- fresco. The kitchen has a brand new custom island with quartz counter in a gorgeous creamy neutral designed to coordinate with the existing french style cabinetry with self closing drawers. The refrigerator is veneered with matching cabinet faces to visually enlarge the kitchen space. In the entry across from the island, built-ins have been added all along the wall to create extra needed storage. Dishwasher, range, microwave are all new stainless steel. The wider plank WOOD floors are in a gorgeous chestnut tone. (If you’re tired of seeing greige vinyl everywhere, these are the floors for YOU!) The primary bedroom has an ensuite bath with custom vanity/mirror, stone top counter, travertine flooring & European tiled shower surround. The secondary room can flex into an office or bedroom with a space saving Murphy Bed that folds up into custom white built-in cabinetry. The community offers both fun and relaxation, with clubhouse, pool/spa, golf, bocce ball, game nights, pickleball & more. With beaches nearby, Encinitas coastal boutiques, the Forum shopping center & restaurants galore… it’s like being on vacation every day… and you’ve earned that.
