About 10694 Esmeraldas Dr
Welcome to this beautifully upgraded home in the sought-after Villa Portofino community, nestled in the heart of Tierrasanta. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a versatile bonus room, this 1,625 SF home has been lovingly maintained and tastefully remodeled by owners with an impeccable eye for detail. Powered by owned solar, this home redefines “turnkey.” Step inside to discover a stunning kitchen complete with granite countertops, brand new stainless steel appliances, and maple cabinetry. The open and functional floor plan offers all three bedrooms upstairs—including a serene primary suite—while the bonus room downstairs provides the perfect tucked-away space for a home office, studio, or guest room. The living space flows effortlessly into a private, wraparound yard that features three separate patios, ideal for entertaining or relaxing in your own peaceful outdoor retreat. The owners have completed a long list of thoughtful updates, too, including a new roof in 2017, a downstairs bathroom remodel in 2018, followed by the installation of owned solar. New fencing and synthetic turf followed, and in 2021, major systems were updated including new heating and air-conditioning, a tankless water heater, and Lifeproof vinyl plank flooring. The permitted bonus room addition was completed in 2022, and in 2023 the primary bathroom was remodeled and an EV charger was installed. What makes this home even more exciting is the incredible opportunity it presents to own a single-family residence in one of San Diego’s most beloved communities for under $1 million—without sacrificing any of the upgrades or comforts you'd expect one might lose at a lower price point. It's truly the best of both worlds. From the sleek new kitchen appliances to the long-term savings offered by owned solar, this home delivers on both style and substance. Touring this home, you can’t help but notice the pride of ownership and meticulous care that has gone into every inch of it. Beyond the home itself, Villa Portofino offers a fantastic lifestyle. Residents enjoy access to a community pool and spa, clubhouse, expansive green park, tennis and basketball courts—all just minutes from shopping, dining, and top-rated schools. This is more than just a move-in ready home—it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy the perfect blend of thoughtful upgrades, tasteful style, and a welcoming neighborhood. Come see for yourself!
