Welcome to this upgraded 3-bedroom/2-bath home located in the highly desirable San Carlos neighborhood.

The original house was the 1251 Sq. Ft. model. 8443 across the street is what our listing would look like if you re-converted the space back into a garage. Enter through a charming, gated courtyard.
