Located in Mesa Verde's inner loop, this single story gem has it all! Privacy, ambiance, space, a beautiful pool and spa, and ADU studio great for in-laws or rental income. From entering the enclosed front courtyard with a glass tile waterfall to the brightly lit interior with high ceilings, this home feels peaceful. Light bamboo floors throughout and several skylights add natural appeal. An accent wall between the kitchen and family room has fireplaces on each side. The huge family room has a high shed ceiling with skylights and opens up into the backyard, where a pool and spa with waterfall and slide awaits summer fun and relaxation. Two outdoor showers with hot and cold water are convenient for rinsing off after the pool or a day at the beach. A remote-controlled awning extends over part of the patio for shade or retracts for sun. The home is currently configured with a primary suite and two secondary rooms, while the 4th bedroom near the entry is being used as an office and the large 5th bedroom is being used as an ADU studio. The ADU has a separate outdoor entrance and an interior entrance that can be closed off and locked from the rest of the home. It has a kitchenette and private patio space with a history of consistent rental income. A vaulted ceiling creates an open feeling. The ADU has its own AC, while the rest of the home is ventilated with ceiling fans and gentle ocean breezes. The primary suite has dual sinks, a jet bathtub and a separate shower. The primary and office have doors opening out onto the backyard and built-in storage. A small waterfall is featured in the nook outside the secondary bedroom window. The large garage has nicely finished ceiling shelving, as well as wall cabinetry for plenty of storage space without loss of parking, and a 220 volt Bosch EV charging system compatible with a Tesla vehicle. The home was completely remodeled in 2017, and the water heater and Samsung refrigerator are new. The home is pre-wired with an 8-channel sound system, so different music can be played in various rooms, and is hardwired throughout with internet. For ease of use, the water features and pool/spa heating are controlled by a phone app. A video security system provides views of the street, while solar panels save electricity costs. This spacious property offers a great opportunity to enjoy easy beach living and is in close proximity to shopping, restaurants, schools, parks, Mesa Verde Country Club, freeway access and beaches.
