Rarely do condos at the Monterey-Gage Community come on the market. This totally renovated, model-perfect condo is in the Village and only a three-minute walk to the beach! Location! Location! Walk not only to the beach, but to restaurants, shops, the train station, and a variety of services. This turn-key condo offers you the most affordable, beach lifestyle in Carlsbad. Park your car and take advantage of everything the Village/Beach has to offer from outstanding walkable beaches to close-by family activities including Legoland, Sea World, and the famous San Diego Zoo. Plus you will enjoy an abundance of great eateries and shops you will only find in the Village. Also as an owner at the Monterey-Gage Community, you will enjoy the charming common grounds AND you will have use of the historic Luther Gage House that is located on the property. Built in 1922, this quaint turn-of-the century home is part of your common HOA facilities. (Feel free to look up Luther Gage as he was a VIP in the development of Carlsbad and its flowers!) As an owner, you are allowed to use the Gage House for family and friends at a very affordable charge. So, you will have access to a four-bedroom home right out your door of your condo! A most unique perk! This lovely condo also comes with designated covered parking and a storage area. And now to the details of this picture-perfect condo. The owner has totally redone the entire interior including a total redo on the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has all new cabinets and appliances, including a garage disposal, a stove, microwave, and a dishwasher. The bathroom boasts an all-new shower, cabinets mirror, and countertops. And the entire condo has all new interior painting, ceiling fans, flooring, plantation shutters, and a portable air conditioner that remains with the property. And you will have your own covered parking spot located close to the condo. And if all of this is not enough, this condo offers the owner a financial perk if desired. This condo is located in the sought-after Coastal Zone, which means short-term rentals are allowed. Nice to have a home at the beach that helps pay for itself!
