Experience one of Lake San Marcos' most coveted waterfront settings, where panoramic lake views, a private dock, and an unbeatable end-of-cul-de-sac location create the ultimate Southern California lifestyle! Set directly on the water, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,536 square feet thoughtfully designed to capture breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features a highly desirable first-floor bedroom—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office—while the kitchen, dining, and living areas are all perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the breathtaking waterfront setting. Expansive windows frame panoramic lake views at nearly every turn, creating a home that feels effortlessly connected to the water. A spectacular lakefront terrace spans the rear of the upper level, creating an unforgettable outdoor living space accessed directly from both the primary suite and a secondary bedroom. The primary retreat features multiple expansive closets and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath, creating the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. Each upstairs bedroom is spacious, light-filled, and thoughtfully designed to provide comfort for family and guests alike. While the lake views steal the show, the extensive upgrades make this home truly shine. The current owners have thoughtfully modernized nearly every corner of the property with two new HVAC systems, updated kitchen countertops and sink, beautifully remodeled upstairs bathrooms, new flooring throughout the upstairs and staircase, recessed lighting, fresh interior and exterior paint, new sliding glass doors, a new patio, window coverings, electrical upgrades, roof repairs, new fascia, and more—creating a move-in ready waterfront home where the big-ticket improvements have already been done. Step outside to your private dock, shared only with your neighbor, and embrace the Lake San Marcos lifestyle. Spend your days boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing directly from your backyard, then unwind on the patio or terrace as the sun sets across the water. Beyond the home, Lake San Marcos offers a lifestyle unlike anywhere else in North County, with an 80-acre recreational lake, two championship golf courses, waterfront dining, the Lakehouse Resort, community pools, tennis and pickleball, walking trails, seasonal concerts, and the beloved holiday boat parade. It's more than a home—it's a year-round vacation.
