Discover this beautifully upgraded Verana home, nestled on an elevated lot in the highly sought-after Pacific Highlands Ranch community. Situated on a corner lot, the home boasts a large front balcony and meticulously manicured landscaping, creating an inviting first impression. As you step inside, you're greeted by the elegance of tile plank flooring throughout the downstairs, complemented by crown molding, window casings, plantation shutters, and recessed lighting. Just off the entryway, a custom wood-framed, glass door enclosure transforms a flex space into an elegant office, perfectly separated from the open family room, dining, and kitchen areas. These living spaces offer stunning views of the backyard, covered patio, and garden. The dining area features a beamed ceiling and stackable sliding doors that open to a wraparound California room. The California room is outfitted with travertine tile flooring, a wood plank ceiling, specialty lighting, speakers, TV hookups, and a cozy gas fireplace.
