About this home
Welcome to Vallecitos Ridge! This charming detached home blends standout curb appeal, a versatile floor plan, and an unbeatable San Marcos location. Set on a desirable corner lot in the gated community of Vallecitos Ridge, this home offers added privacy with no neighbors on one side, while the board-and-batten siding paired with stucco creates a warm, inviting exterior. Inside, wood-like flooring flows throughout the living and family room areas and continues up the stairwell, creating a cohesive, modern feel. The kitchen features tile flooring, granite countertops, and a large center island—perfect for everyday living, entertaining, and gathering with family and friends. The flexible two-story floor plan offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and multiple living spaces, including a bedroom and full bath on the entry level. Upstairs, you'll find the spacious primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a guest bath, a generously sized laundry room, and a large loft/flex space that can easily serve as a second living room, home office, playroom, or media area. All NEW carpets throughout. Step outside to the large, private paver patio, offering a fantastic setting for outdoor dining, relaxing, or entertaining. And the location? Phenomenal. San Marcos Middle School and Palomar College are just down the street, with Mission Sports Park and San Marcos Elementary nearby. Restaurants, shopping, movies, and the beach are all just a short drive away. Privacy within the gated community, flexibility, style, and location—this is the San Marcos opportunity you've been waiting for!

Richmar, located between Richmar Avenue and San Marcos Boulevard, is a residential and suburban San Marcos neighborhood with single-story ranch homes and a low-key, tree-lined street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the San Marcos Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road corridor, where small plazas, coffee counters, and everyday services set a steady daytime rhythm. Housing reads as mid-century to late-20th-century, with driveways, modest front yards, and a practical, lived-in feel. Nearby green space and school campuses shape the weekly cadence with fields, courts, and walking loops. For local pillars, Richmar ties into the wider San Marcos scene at California State University San Marcos, the North City district, and Double Peak Park for big-sky views and trail time.
