Set on a corner lot in San Carlos with Cowles Mountain on the horizon, this thoughtfully renovated single-story home pairs warm, modern finishes with an easy, pool-centered lifestyle. A crisp white painted-brick facade and drought-tolerant landscaping make a clean first impression. Inside, light oak-toned flooring runs throughout, and skylights draw natural light across the main living spaces. The living room is accented by a painted tongue-and-groove ceiling and a brick fireplace refreshed with a smooth, modern surround. The fireplace’s red brick continues into a sweeping archway that connects the living room to the family room, where built-in niches add display space. Beneath its own skylight, the black-and-white kitchen is warmed by white oak shaker cabinetry that gives the classic palette a modern edge, accented by brass pulls, a gold pull-down faucet, and brass sconce and ceiling lighting. The peninsula offers casual seating and opens to the dining area, with all-new stainless steel appliances. The primary suite provides ample storage with both a walk-in and a reach-in closet, along with a thoughtfully designed ensuite bath. A blush bamboo-print wallpaper accent sets the backdrop for a dual vanity in a rich walnut tone, finished with matte black fixtures and rounded black-framed mirrors. The walk-in shower is wrapped in textured, vertically stacked tile in a warm greige, with a charcoal tile floor and rainfall showerhead. Bringing comfort and function to the rest of the home, the hall bath strikes a playful counterpoint with vertical stripes of glossy white and greige tile surrounding the tub-shower, a white oak shaker vanity, and black-and-white patterned floor tile. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Doors from the living and family rooms open directly to the backyard, where the pool is framed by brick coping and a generous surrounding deck. A covered patio provides shade for lounging, while a grassy lawn, fruit trees, and mature hedges along the fence line create a private setting for everyday living and weekend entertaining. A new roof, new HVAC, and a new water heater add peace of mind behind the finishes. Moments from Mission Trails Regional Park, the Cowles Mountain trailhead, and Lake Murray, and served by well-regarded schools, this San Carlos home delivers refreshed single-story living in one of San Diego’s most established neighborhoods.
