Absolutely beautiful, turnkey home in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in RMV! Spanning over 3,200 square feet. Four en-suite bedrooms, plus a powder room and a formal dining room or flex room. Very rare Three-car garage. Fully owned 9.45 kW solar! The largest Cirrus plan by Meritage built in Esencia, on a premium interior lot along a quiet street with no corner exposure. The open concept great room opens directly onto a finished California room: Tuscany travertine pavers, a built-in fire pit, and a fully usable backyard with room to add a putting green or dog run on the oversized side yard. Outdoor living that is already done, not a project. The kitchen anchors the great room with an oversized quartz island, professional-grade appliances, and white cabinetry. Flexibility is the real story. Downstairs: a bedroom with full en-suite bath and its own private exterior entrance, a true guest suite that already exists rather than a future project, plus a separate flex room. Upstairs: a dedicated home office, an expansive loft that works as a media room, game room, or fifth bedroom, and a primary suite with private viewing balcony, spa bath, and dual walk-in closets. Two more en-suite bedrooms and a sunlit laundry room with utility sink. Four and a half baths. Nobody shares a bathroom. The systems are done. New HVAC. Exterior repainted with premium paint. Plantation shutters throughout. And the solar: 28 panels, 9.45 kW, fully owned and paid off. Not leased. No PPA. No transfer approval, no credit qualification. Here is what that means in practice. Our SDG&E true-up for the year ending October 2025 was $231.89. Not per month. For the entire year, even while charging our electric car at home. A comparable home without solar commonly runs $400 to $500 a month. The system is grandfathered on NEM 2.0, crediting exports at full retail rate. It transfers to you with the house. Three-car garage with built-in cabinets and a 240V Level 2 EV charger, genuinely rare at this price in Esencia. Walk to Esencia K-8. Steps to RMV's resort amenities: pools, fitness centers, arcade, sports park, farmers market, and Canyon Coffee House. Move-in ready. Come see for yourself how spectacular this home is!
