This meticulously maintained classic Valley Center pool home with stunning views out to Palomar Mountain is not one to be missed. Enjoy the serenity the country provides you at this centrally located property that's still close to all Valley Center has to offer. The beautiful 4 bed/2.5 bath, single story, custom ranch home sits on a usable and fully fenced 2.28 acres on a private road with no through traffic. The current owners had a working horse ranch here for 30 years with equestrian facilities that include full corral and round pen for training as well as a tack room and hay barn. These facilities are easily accessed via a service road with plenty of room to bring horse trailers to that section of the property. There is also plenty of space to expand upon these facilities or that space could also be used for boat/RV/horse trailer storage or even install a guest house / ADU. The home itself has been lovingly maintained throughout the years with some of the recent updates being a new water heater installed in 2019 with regular maintenance, the exterior fully painted in 2020, and a full roof tune-up completed in 2021. The home is positioned to take advantage of the beautiful views out of all windows and with the many skylights, the natural light in this property is unmatched. The main living areas offer tons of flexibility to fit your lifestyle with the expansive family room with vaulted ceiling and brick-surround fireplace along with the additional living room/parlor/library, game room (with pool table)/den space and office space - so many options for entertaining friends and family and/or schooling or working from home. The spacious kitchen offers plenty of prep space and storage in addition to views out to Palomar Mountain and a large skylight bringing in that natural light. The generous primary bedroom enjoys an ensuite bath with dual vanities, a sizable walk-in closet along with a second closet that contains a sewing table that could be used as a vanity or for crafting, present wrapping, etc. The attached garage includes a full workshop, storage cabinets, and a storage loft above.
