Welcome to 1603 Laurelwood Way in Oceanside -- a beautifully maintained home that shows pride of ownership inside and out. The exterior features a double driveway with an extended unistone side patio for additional parking, immaculate paint, an arched entry, vinyl fencing, and low-maintenance landscaping framed by palm trees, giving it a true California feel. The backyard is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a large concrete patio, a decorative pergola with an adjustable roof, a gas BBQ hookup, a fire pit area, a fully turfed yard, and generous side yard space ideal for playsets or pets. Paid solar keeps energy costs low, and the home is equipped with a Ring security system and a Honeywell smart thermostat. Inside, the home features 9-foot ceilings, whitewashed laminate flooring, modern paint, California shutters, and upgraded doors and hardware throughout. The open-concept main level includes a bright kitchen with quartz countertops, a large island, white raised-panel cabinetry, crown molding, under-cabinet lighting, Samsung appliances, and an 8-foot sliding door that connects seamlessly to the backyard. A full bedroom and bath on the main level offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious loft area, a beautifully appointed primary suite with dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, and custom walk-in closet, along with two additional bedrooms, an upgraded hall bath, and a convenient laundry room with built-in cabinetry.
