Big and Cozy. . .Really? Yep, this new listing simply feels great!

Just got back from Friday’s Brokers’ Open House tour.  It was a short tour as there are very few new listings.  We have buyers backed up waiting for that great house to pop up on the market, but new listings are coming out at a trickle pace.  However, there were several new gems featured on the open house tour.  The one we think is a real find is in the  “Mira Costa area.”  One of the major benefits of this neighborhood is the large lots, many of which are 50′ wide and 150′ deep.  The result is a very nice size home and a yard – a feature you don’t often get in the “Sand”‘ or “Tree Section.” Also, if you have kids in, or soon to attend, Mira Costa High School, it is great to be within walking distance.

So why feature this house?  It is a unique design, which is a refreshing change from the standard issue 3,000-3,500 square foot homes built over the last 10 years. The vaulted ceilings and the stone fireplace in the living room set the tone from the moment you walk in the door.  The interior is reminiscent of The Ahwahnee Hotel with a bookcase crammed with good reads and large leather chairs perfect for a good curl up.  The kitchen is rich in finishes and well placed and there is a wonderful office/den space off the kitchen and family room area. Yard? Yep, a big one.  Upstairs the master bedroom is truly a retreat with two additional large bedrooms.  At $1,525,000 we think it is a value.  Take a look – you might be surprised, but you won’t be disappointed!
