San Marcos, CA 92078 (MLS #NDP2606274)

This 3-bed, 2.5-bath, 1,412 sq. ft. townhouse in San Marcos, CA 92078 is move-in ready and arrives with built-in energy infrastructure that most homes in North County San Diego simply cannot match: a 12-panel SunRun solar system, a 9.6 kWh LG home battery, and a dedicated EV plug in the 2-car attached garage — all installed, all operational, all conveying with the home. Set within the Laurel & Magnolia neighborhood at Old Creek Ranch, this three-story residence delivers the space, systems, and community amenities that first-time buyers and growing families have been searching for in San Marcos Unified School District territory — without the compromise that typically comes at this price point. The ground floor opens to a versatile flex room that functions equally well as a home office, den, or playroom — a dedicated space that remote workers and families with young children will immediately put to use; it… Read More sits entirely separate from the three bedrooms, preserving the upper floor as a private retreat. The main living level on the second floor is anchored by a kitchen designed for real daily function: a large island commands the center of the room, flanked by abundant counter space and plentiful cabinetry that keeps everything stored and accessible. The kitchen opens directly to the living and dining areas, and from there to a spacious balcony where you can take in the community's landscaped surroundings without leaving home. Tile flooring runs the full ground and second floors for durability and ease of maintenance; the third floor transitions to carpet across all three bedrooms, softening the private quarters. Every appliance conveys — refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, dryer, and microwave — so your move-in checklist is shorter than you might expect. The HVAC system was replaced in 2023, a smart thermostat manages comfort across the single-zone AC and natural gas heat, and exterior painting was completed in 2025 — the kind of ownership history that removes the guesswork about what's been maintained and what hasn't. The SunRun PPA is leased at $154 per month and is engineered to generate approximately 6,666 kWh annually; the LG battery is sized specifically to cover evening energy demand and overnight EV charging, meaning your garage is already equipped for an electric vehicle before you arrive. Old Creek Ranch's position near the I-78 and I-15 corridors gives you direct access to coastal North County — Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista are each within a short drive — as well as inland employment hubs and the broader San Diego metro to the south; buyers relocating from Carlsbad for school district value, or moving north from communities like Chula Vista, El Cajon, and National City, consistently find that San Marcos delivers what those markets charge a premium for. Discovery Elementary and Double Peak K–8 both fall within the San Marcos Unified School District, and both serve this community directly — a concrete advantage for families who have been mapping school zones before listing addresses. The HOA is $431 per month and covers water, landscaping, pool and spa maintenance, and all shared common areas; community amenities include a pool, spa, playground, BBQ grills, and a fire pit — infrastructure that makes the outdoor square footage of this home substantially larger than the building footprint suggests. For buyers coming from North County San Diego's detached single-family market, or from rental situations in coastal communities, Laurel & Magnolia at Old Creek Ranch in San Marcos represents a straightforward value proposition: low-maintenance living, quality schools, energy infrastructure already built in, and a community that functions the way a community should.
