Nestled at 496 Christina Court--a tranquil cul-de-sac in the single-story Rio Vista community of Oceanside--this beautifully upgraded 2,067 sqft home offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms. It blends elegance and comfort with luxury vinyl flooring, soaring ceilings, and a modernized kitchen featuring granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a central island that seamlessly connects to the family room, highlighted by a striking black granite fireplace. The primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, built-in storage, dual-sink granite vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. Energy efficiency meets ease with solar panels, central air, and a low-maintenance backyard complete with a pergola and concrete patio. A two-car epoxy-floored garage, low HOA (no Mello-Roos), and proximity to the San Luis Rey River Trail, shopping, and dining enhance the appeal. Zoned for the respected Oceanside Unified School District, it's just 0.1 mile to Foussat Elementary, about 2.7 miles to Jefferson Middle, and around 3.7 miles to Oceanside High. Nearby amenities include excellent trails, beaches, the Oceanside Pier, local restaurants, and Tri-City Medical Center. It's more than a house--it's a thoughtfully situated home in a vibrant coastal community.
