This beautifully upgraded Verana model in Pacific Highlands Ranch was reimagined for contemporary family life and entertaining. Enter through low-maintenance, water-wise landscaping and a gracious porte-cochere to a light-filled main level defined by Italian wood-look porcelain tile that flows into an expansive family room and kitchen. The kitchen is a showpiece — rich dark wood cabinetry, granite counters, an iridescent blue tile backsplash, and stainless-steel GE Monogram appliances including a four-burner range with center griddle and double wall oven. A dedicated coffee bar and a generous center island make morning routines effortless and provide abundant prep space for guests.

The living area centers on a gas fireplace with built-in shelving and opens through a dramatic sliding glass wall to a covered loggia. That loggia, finished with a wood-plank ceiling and upgraded fixtures, functions as a second living room — ideal for alfresco dining or lounging while overlooking the private yard. The backyard blends a healthy lawn with mature palms, fruit trees and succulents for privacy and year-round enjoyment. Practical living is addressed with a main-level bedroom and full bath (perfect for guests, multigenerational arrangements, or a home office), while upstairs a versatile loft provides bonus living space.

The primary suite looks out toward the greenscape beyond the yard and includes decorative blue wood paneling, plantation shutters, a walk-in closet and an ensuite with dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub and a sizable step-in shower with built-in seating. Two additional upstairs bedrooms, a shared bath and a large laundry room complete the upper level. Solar panels contribute to long-term savings and sustainability. Located minutes from Pacific Sky Elementary, neighborhood parks, shopping and HOA access to the Solterra Swim Club, this home blends thoughtful design with everyday convenience.
