## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to 751 Merit Drive, a sophisticated and highly upgraded residence in Vientos at Rancho Tesoro, a desirable gated community. Built in 2020, this 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home offers 2,646 SF of thoughtfully designed living space with soaring ceilings, premium finishes, porcelain tile flooring, elegant window treatments and an inviting open-concept layout. The chef-inspired kitchen features KitchenAid stainless-steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops, custom backsplash, driftwood-style shaker cabinetry, pull-out pantry, floating shelves, 5-burner gas cooktop, built-in oven/microwave, commercial-style hood and island. A private downstairs bedroom with en-suite bath and walk-in closet offers flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or a home office. Paid solar with backup battery adds energy efficiency. Parking for 4 vehicles: 2-car garage plus 2 driveway spaces. Enjoy a low-maintenance backyard and community amenities including a heated pool, lakes, trails, playground, BBQ areas and fire pit. Convenient to shopping, dining, Cal State San Marcos, parks, trails, SR-78 and I-15. Please note, this is a single family and not zoned as a condo.
