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 french charm. Unlike many of the other units in the community, there are TWO patios for enjoying California sunshine: 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 back private fenced patio faces a walking/greenbelt on the quieter East side of the community. 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 create consistency and 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's large sunny window faces the back patio and the front bedroom window faces the front patio. The community offers both fun and relaxation, with clubhouse, grassy parks, 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.
