About the host
Hosted by Patti Aretz
We purchased this townhome with the excellent schools in mind, and proximity to Del Mar and Torrey Pines beaches. The area has grown up around us to include many excellent restaurants, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, gyms, boutiques, parks etc. We love the convenience to freeways going north and south. The airport is 30 minutes away as is the Aquarium at Legoland, and in La Jolla at Birch Aquarium. The Polo Fields, 10 minutes away for the soccer enthusiasts. The Oceanside Pier and the Museum of Music, are favorite spots. As a parent educator, I am always looking for special places to recommend to take children for hikes and experiences that expose them the to the gorgeous environment that is San Diego.
Why they chose this property
This property is our primary home. Many of the pieces are designed and built as one a of kind pieces. The home is decorated with a contemporary look and comfort in mind. It is immaculate, breezy with fans throughout, very well organized with living in style in mind. The kitchen and den overlook the lush garden that the homeowners have enjoyed nurturing for 23 years. The foliage is beautiful and a pleasure to enjoy over morning coffee or tea in the kitchen nook. We absolutely love our home, proximity to the pool and spa and beaches, and are proud to have our guests enjoy it as well!
What makes this property unique
Location! Carmel Valley is conveniently located between beaches, North County's beach quaint cities, Legoland, and downtown's Gaslamp Quarter, funky Hillcrest, Balboa Park.
