About 905 Slate St
Welcome to 905 Slate Street, a fully furnished townhome in Rancho Tesoro, San Marcos' gated hillside community — just bring your suitcases and settle in. The main living level is open and light-filled, with the kitchen, dining, and living areas flowing together over LVP floors and out to a private patio, an easy setup for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook: generous counter space and storage, KitchenAid appliances, and an oversized island with room to prep, gather, and pull up a stool for casual dining. A half bath and extra storage on the entry level round out the floor for guests and daily convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, with a dual-vanity bath, a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, each with a walk-in closet, and share a hall bathroom with a tub. Laundry is upstairs too, just down the hall from the bedrooms. An attached two-car garage with direct entry and additional storage keeps cars and gear tucked away. The home runs efficiently, with solar, dual-pane windows throughout. Outside your door, Rancho Tesoro lives like a small resort. The gated community wraps around hills, open space, and lakes, threaded with biking and walking trails. Amenities include a beautiful pool with cabanas and loungers, BBQ and gathering areas, fire pits, and playground. The location is hard to top. Double Peak School — one of the area's most sought-after — is just around the corner and is the assigned school for this home. Discovery Lake, South Lake, Lake San Marcos, San Elijo Hills, CSUSM, Kaiser Permanente, and Palomar Hospital are all close by, with shopping, dining, the 78 freeway, and the coast within easy reach. Peaceful and tucked away, yet connected to everything. Offered furnished for an easy move-in. NO PETS. Renter's liability insurance required throughout tenancy. Fully furnished Home. One year lease.
