Occasionally a home comes along that checks all the boxes and stands out above the others, 1530 Glencrest Drive in the gated community of Promontory Ridge in San Elijo Hills(SEH) is that kind of home. From the paid off solar with car charger, to the meticulously renovated bathrooms, this move in ready home shines brightly. Locals love the Promontory Ridge community for many reasons. It is a gated community off the beaten path of town center so owners find it a bit quieter than many others, yet it is still close enough to put on your walking shoes on and be right in the center of the action within a minutes. Grocery stores, local eateries, and everything residents love about SEH are just a few minutes away. Carlsbad beaches and coastal North San Diego are just a short drive. When you arrive, one of the first things you notice is the striking curb appeal, it jumps out at you. It looks and feels like the upgraded, well cared for home it is. From the freshly painted pop outs and trim, to the high quality artificial turf and colorful water wise succulents, all of the landscaping has been redone. In addition, all of the light fixtures are updated and the entire driveway and walkway are adorned with colorful pavers, adding an element of style and sophistication to what can often be a drab first impression. All of this is set against the backdrop of the Elfin Forest, providing stunning vistas and buffer of native landscape adding an expansive feel to the backyard. As you enter you are greeted by gorgeous wood floors, attractive decor, soaring vaulted ceilings, and a sweeping curved staircase to the upper level. To the right you'll find the home office. This could be converted to a bedroom, and it has direct access to the front patio. To the left you will find the downstairs bathroom with shower, the laundry room, garage, and downstairs bedroom currently set up as a home gym. This is a true downstairs bedroom complete with a closet. This gives owners the flexibility of two downstairs bedrooms and a full bath if desired. The kitchen is sure to be a focal point for your gatherings. It features gleaming marbled quartz countertops with tons of storage and space, new fixtures, high quality appliances, and a large pantry to store all your dry goods. The stylish center island provides ample seating, making it ideal for casual dining or entertaining guests. The family/great room just off the kitchen is spacious, bright and open, with loads of windows, a cozy fireplace with gas starter, and direct access to the backyard. The dining room bridges the kitchen and living room with plenty of space to “add a leaf to the table” if needed and invite more guests. The backyard with its Pebble Tec waterfall pool and Jacuzzi will be one of your favorite spots. The backyard landscaping has been renovated completely including artificial turf, smart use of colorful pavers, and a charming homemade bar with a stools and electricity. Upstairs is a true retreat with a spacious primary bedroom, two spare bedrooms joined by a dual access bath, and a large bonus/upstairs family room ideal for gathering, crafting, entertaining, or it could be used as a potential 6th bedroom. One thing I love about this home is how comfortable and functional it is with lots of possibilities to accommodate different sized households. The primary suite provides a private haven for relaxing and recharging. Its location towards the back of the home, with East facing windows means catching the morning sun as it rises over Double Peak to greet your day. On many mornings (and evenings) you can catch a glimpse of locals hiking or biking the Double Peak Trail. A stylish barn door leads to your spa-like en suite, complete with a deep soaking tub for ultimate indulgence. Pamper yourself in the large step-in shower and enjoy the convenience of a double vanity, beautifully illuminated by custom lighting. Too much to list - this is a must see!
