749 De Luz, Fallbrook CA 92028 | $720,000

Set back from the street beneath mature oaks and swaying palms, this single-story retreat brings country calm just 5 minutes from downtown Fallbrook's village-style Main Avenue, with its shops, restaurants, farmers market and favorite community events like the annual Avocado Festival. A covered flagstone porch welcomes you inside, where vaulted ceilings with rich exposed wood beams crown a sun-drenched living room anchored by a cozy river rock fireplace. The open layout flows into the dining area, framed by a striking orb chandelier and wide windows overlooking the trees. The chef-inspired kitchen is the heart of the home, with hickory cabinetry, glass-front display uppers, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and a recessed tray ceiling. Beyond glass-paned French doors are two bright bonus rooms with warm wood-plank ceilings, walls of windows and classic wainscoting, ideal for a home office, gym, studio or sunroom. Durable tile flows through the main living areas, while carpet, crown molding and custom paint add comfort to the bedrooms. The bath features a skylight and a glass-block shower surround. Outside, the 10,454 sq ft lot with a two-car garage is a blank canvas ready for your garden or entertaining vision. Nearby trails, I-15 and the Camp Pendleton gate are all about 7 to 11 minutes away. Seller is open to considering buyer finance concessions. Character like this rarely comes along. Come see it before it's gone!
