Top-floor end-unit living in the highly desirable Cypress Greens community of Carmel Mountain Ranch. Built by Shea Homes in 2008 and still owned by the original buyer, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence is ideally positioned above the garages with no units below and windows on three sides--delivering exceptional privacy, natural light, and a floor plan that lives more like a single-family home. With only three units per building, the setting feels quiet, open, and rarely available. (see suppl) Inside, the home offers thoughtfully upgraded living space with hand-scraped engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The kitchen blends style and functionality with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a recently installed quiet-run dishwasher and microwave, and a convenient two-seat eat-at bar. A custom built-in storage and shelving feature enhances the dining area with both character and practicality. The living room is framed by a wall of southeast-facing windows with plantation shutters, filling the space with soft morning light, while the fireplace creates a comfortable place to unwind. The private patio--one of the larger options in the community--offers direct access from both the living room and primary suite, making indoor-outdoor living easy. Additional highlights include a security system, direct-access one-car garage with overhead storage, and a second deeded parking space. Located directly across from the pool, spa, and community gathering areas, with no Mello-Roos, and close proximity to shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and freeway access, this home delivers comfort, privacy, and everyday convenience in a prime San Diego location.
