SOLANA BEACH– If you have are looking for the perfect first home west of I-5 and have the active triathlon lifestyle, you MUST consider this Solana Beach townhome.

For those that are familiar with city of Solana Beach, you already now everything there is for living the California active lifestyle. For those that are not familiar, read on. It’s worth it!!

Solana Beach, located between Cardiff and Del Mar, is primarily lived west of I-5.

First you have plenty of beach for surfing, sunning and fishing anchored by Fletcher Cove. This also happens to be where the Friday morning Triathlon Club of San Diego swim starts. Staying with the swim theme, just up the hill on Lomas Santa Fe from the beach, you have the San Dieguito Boys and Girls club which has a great masters program.

For cycling, BnL Bike is located on the coast highway at just over a mile from this townhome. Time to ride? You have the ability to roll out your door and do a coastal ride or head inland for a Del Dios’ Lake Wohlford route, Del Sur or ?.

For the runner in us all, you can easily hit the coast running right from your new home or head up over the hill on Valley and connect with the running trails of the San Elijo lagoon.

Now for general fitness, there is the Boys and Girls club as well as Frog’s Fitness Center. Again all within a mile and a half.

Friends coming over? Head to Cedros Design District for some shopping, dining or live music at the Belly Up. You can also hit the Plaza on the coast highway for more dining choices.

Summertime? The Del Mar Fairgrounds is an easy walk. Invite friends over for a walk to the fair in June and then see the ponies run in July or checkout the 4 o’clock Friday’s live concerts there also.

What about the groceries? At the top of Stevens you have Henry’s, Bev and More, Dixieline plus many other shop, while across the freeway is Vons and more.

Heading downtown for a Padre or Charger Game? Want to do a ride from LA back to Solana? The Coaster and Amtrak train station is just around the corner.

Also Del Mar’s dog beach is an easy walk and a great playground that your best friend will love!!!

Again, ALL of this lies within a mile and half of your door, with the exception of the Vons.

There are a few things I especially like about the house itself.

Firstly, it is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath with an attached garage that accesses the house through the common bath which is the perfect place to shed those sweaty clothes. Secondly, the three bedrooms are all upstairs and provide an opportunity for a guest bedroom AND an office. Thirdly, this homes sits on top of the hill on a cul de sac and has a huge greenbelt area just off your private patio which is a perfect spot for friends and a BBQ. Lastly, the owner has updated the home, it has a nice Provencal style kitchen, and added windows to bring in plenty of natural light. About the only thing I would do is add a couple skylights in the living room to enhance the openness of the cathedral ceilings.
