Everyone knows the difference between a house and a home. As you walk into 6852 Widgeon Place, it is first and foremost a structure — and that's what you're looking for. A place to spend your days and nights. A place for your people. A place for your stuff. A venue to host holidays and spend quiet moments reading, thinking, connecting with yourself and anyone who shares this address with you. But while you're looking to buy a house, what you ultimately want is a home. This house makes is that home. Here are some of the things the sellers discovered about this home over the last five years — things you will likely come to love if you decide to make it yours: It is bright, with natural sunlight streaming in all day and moonlight casting a soft glow at night. It is remarkably quiet. In five years, the sellers have never heard a single through-the-wall sound from neighbors on either side. The homeowners to the north have a lovely fountain in their backyard that carries a sweet sound when the bedroom window is open — but beyond that, the neighbors on either side are simply never an intrusion. With no one behind you and a privacy wall that creates absolute serenity, this unique location is ideal for anyone who values complete seclusion. The birds! The only interruption to the silence is a symphony of birdsong. Morning and daylight hours are filled with the tweets, trills, and chirps of finches, warblers, sparrows, towhees, Cooper's Hawks, and mourning doves, to name a few. Nighttime brings the low, moody hoot of Great Horned Owls — not every night, but often enough to make this yard feel like a favorite stop. THE NEIGHBORHOOD: A short quarter-mile walk leads to the San Elijo Lagoon trailhead and two miles of nature trails, wildflowers, and bird-watching. As an Aviara Community member, residents enjoy access and discounts to golf, the gym, and restaurants just a half-mile away. The beloved Dove Library — with stacks of books, a vast and playful children's section, rentable meeting rooms, expansive coworking spaces, and an outdoor café serving coffee, chai lattes, soup, and sandwiches — is about a ten-minute walk. Also within walking distance: movies (Cinépolis), grocery (Vons), fun restaurants, coffee (La Costa Coffee), a UPS store, Urgent Care, and more — all in the complex at the corner. World-class public schools are right around the corner, close enough to walk and skip those drop-off and pick-up lines. Community pools, Jacuzzis, beach volleyball courts, and a nearby trail with sweeping views of the stunning Aviara Golf Resort round out the lifestyle this address offers. This place is more than meets the eye — gorgeous, bright, and full of warmth. It will fill your spirit as readily as it shelters your people and your possessions. Peace of mind knowing you have your own EV Charging and low/minimal water landscaping just adds to the pride of ownership while living here. Welcome Home.
