4545 Vereda Mar DE Ponderosa, San Diego, CA 92130

A Rare Carmel Valley Opportunity. Tucked along a quiet, palm-lined street in one of Carmel Valleys most sought-after neighborhoods, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath, two-story home offers 2,455 square feet of bright, functional living space, a private garden retreat, and strong potential for the next owner. From the curb, mature queen palms frame a thoughtfully xeriscaped front garden with agaves, succulents, and river rock. Step through the blue front door into a formal living and dining area with soaring ceilings, elegant crown moulding, graceful tile flooring, and abundant natural light. At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a center island and opens to the family room, where a marble-surround fireplace and a wall of windows overlook the lush backyard. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a tray ceiling, sitting area potential, dual closets, and an en-suite bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Three additional bedrooms, including one well-suited for an office or flex space, and a laundry room complete the second level. The backyard is the true highlight: a private outdoor setting with a white pergola, brick-and-stone patio, mature palms, hibiscus, bougainvillea, raised garden beds, and flexible lawn space. It feels established, peaceful, and difficult to replicate. With solid bones, a timeless floor plan, and room to update and personalize, this home offers location, space, and long-term upside.
