Welcome to this upgraded 3-bedroom/2-bath home located in the highly desirable San Carlos neighborhood. This home was the model home for this floorplan, and the builder made the garage a reception area with a fireplace and put a block wall in front with a wood gate for entry/patio purposes. The original house was the 1251 Sq. Ft. model. 8443 across the street is what our listing would look like if you re-converted the space back into a garage. Enter through a charming, gated courtyard. Inside, the home features luxury vinyl wood plank and tile flooring throughout, along with fresh interior paint and exterior touch-ups, dual pane windows & slider and newer FAU & AC (in attic). Oversized windows and sliding glass doors fill the home with abundant natural light, complemented by recessed lighting for a bright, modern feel. The spacious living room is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, complete with a gas-burning fireplace accented by mosaic tile, a wood mantel, and a Silestone hearth. A large sliding door leads seamlessly to the backyard patio, creating ideal indoor-outdoor flow. The converted garage is now an expansive 23x18 family room, offering additional living space with a wood-burning fireplace, mosaic tile surround, wood mantel and slate tile hearth. An oversized slider opens to the front courtyard. The laundry room is just off the family room and features abundant cabinetry, shelving, a utility sink and direct access to the backyard patio. The open concept kitchen is perfect for entertaining and connects to the dining area.
