Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and next to a lush greenbelt, this home is steps from a scenic walking path that leads directly to Santiago Hills Elementary School, the clubhouse, tennis courts, playground and pools. Kids can safely play outside while neighbors gather and enjoy the sense of community that makes Park Paseo so special. From here, you can also walk or bike to nearby grocery stores, shops, restaurants, parks, and even the lake! Everyday convenience is right at your doorstep. The home itself has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for 37 years, and the pride of ownership is evident in the thoughtful updates throughout the home.
