Hardwood floors, ranch style front porch, and an enclosed back patio, with views to the East. Cul-de-sac location. Close to schools, shopping, freeway access, and just blocks to the Bike Trail. Plenty of room for another vegetable garden, R. V. /toy storage, Tennis Court, Pool, the possibilities are endless. This is a unique opportunity to own one of the last of the large lots in Oceanside, and just 5 miles to the best beaches in S. D. This charming ranch house sits on a uniquely large, and flat lot in Oceanside, California just 5 miles from the coast, and just blocks away from the famous Old Mission San Luis Rey. The property is nearly an acre of level land with endless possibilities. Not the least of which could possibly be a granny flat. An acre is 43,560 square feet. This lot is 40,075 square feet! The home itself is 1,186 square feet, 3 bedrooms 2 baths. Floors are the original hardwood. In the living room right next to the kitchen sits a wood burning stove. That's not the only heat however the gas fired wall heater is less than a year old, and the master bath has it's own private heat source. The stove in the kitchen is an antique electric. The second bath room was just recently beautifully remodeled. The two car garage has ample storage, hookups for gas and electric washer and dryer, and a nice big deep sink for cleaning hands before coming inside from tending to the vegetable garden. Just off the Kitchen/Dining Room is an enclosed patio approximately 8' x 17'. You can relax in the patio and watch the vine fresh tomatoes grow outside in your enclosed vegetable garden. No gophers get into these raised beds. They were built correctly, and with special soil imported for the best vegetables possible. The compo shingle roof is only a year and a half old. Two magnificent, very old shade trees compliment the southern end of the lot and provide a very nice blanket of shade to keep things comfy. We're on a cul-de-sac!. The location is also very convenient for commuting, being close to major highways.
