Lagoon & Racetrack Views in the Heart of Del Mar. Perched above the San Dieguito Lagoon within the gated community of Playa Del Mar, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home of 1,583 square feet looks out across the lagoon to the iconic Del Mar Racetrack. Beyond the gates, the racetrack, the beach, and the Del Mar Fairgrounds are all within walking distance. Inside, vaulted ceilings and skylights fill the home with natural light, and bamboo floors flow throughout. A fireplace anchors the living room, which opens to a private patio with a propane BBQ and lagoon views, ideal for dining outdoors as the sun sets over the wetlands. The kitchen pairs white oak cabinetry and Corian counters with an electric double oven and cooktop, and a bar makes entertaining easy. Central air conditioning and dual-pane windows keep the home comfortable and quiet year-round. The primary suite is a private retreat with its own fireplace, lagoon views, a balcony, and a walk-in closet. Its en suite bath has a large soaking tub, a separate shower, dual sinks, and expansive counter space. The second bedroom has a peekaboo view of the Pacific. The one-car garage has a washer and dryer and built-in cabinets, and it is set up as a game room. It comes stocked with beach equipment, so everything you need for a day by the water is ready to grab on your way out. With the game room in the garage, three additional assigned parking spaces make room for your vehicles and your guests' as well, which is a rare convenience in Del Mar. As a Playa Del Mar resident, you'll also enjoy full access to the community pool and spa. Offered fully furnished, or unfurnished for a long-term lease. A 9-month term is preferred, and short-term stays are also available; please call for short-term pricing. Pets are welcome. Leave the car at home and stroll to Del Mar Village for boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and the weekly farmers' market. Racing season, Fairgrounds events, and the beach are also just a short walk away. This is lagoon-side living with the very best of Del Mar right outside your door.
