Tucked behind the gates of Monarch Villas, this beautifully reimagined La Costa townhome backs to a peaceful greenbelt and delivers the privacy, polish, and walkable lifestyle today's buyers are searching for. The home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, featuring engineered hardwood floors, newer windows, plantation shutters, newer granite countertops and backsplash, two fully renovated bathrooms, a newer sliding door, and newer HVAC, so it feels fresh and new when you walk in! The smart, well-separated floor plan gives everyone their own space, then opens onto a private patio made for morning coffee, summer dinners, or simply unwinding outdoors. A 2-car attached garage adds everyday convenience that's rare to find in this style of home. Life inside the gates feels like a permanent vacation, with a sparkling community pool, spa, and lighted tennis courts just steps from your door. Step outside them and the lifestyle only gets better: walk to The Forum Shops and The Beacon for dining, coffee, and boutique shopping, explore the scenic trails of Batiquitos Lagoon, work out at the new Equinox, or tee off at the world-class La Costa Resort and Spa, all just minutes away. Zoned for top-rated Encinitas Union School District schools, this gated, low-maintenance retreat is perfect as a primary residence, a beach getaway, or a smart addition to your portfolio. Privacy, walkability, resort amenities, and excellent schools, this Monarch Villas gem truly has it all.
