BACK ON THE MARKET, buyers miscalculated their finances. Behind the gates of Buenavida sits a Mediterranean-style home with 2,971 square feet and a floor plan that doesn't waste any of it. The ceilings are the first thing people notice: tall enough to give the main rooms a real sense of occasion, and tall enough to pull the heat away. Four bedrooms, three full baths. One bedroom is on the ground floor, which quietly serves several uses at once: guest quarters, a door-closed office, or room for a parent or adult child living under the same roof. The kitchen has been updated with new appliances and is built around an island with genuine elbow room. A dinette sits just off it for your everyday meals, with a separate formal dining room for the occasions that ask for one. The backyard is well kept and planted with palm trees. The single third car garage can be utilized as a at home gym, off-home office, or a storage space. From here it is minutes to Carlsbad beaches, Restaurant Row, shopping centers, golf courses/clubs, Cal State San Marcos, and the 78. The surrounding corridor is dense with tech and biotech employers as well as strong schools serving the area.
