4788 Claire Drive

Oceanside, CA 92057

4788 Claire Drive, Oceanside, CA 92057 is a single-story 4 bedroom, 2 bath single-family home offering 1,180 sq. ft. on a 6,600 sq. ft. (0.15 acre) lot with no HOA, plus a detached structure currently used as a home office, a backyard fruit orchard, a new 2024 roof, a 2024 remodeled kitchen, and 450 sq. ft. Junior ADU plans submitted to the City of Oceanside. Built in 1973 in the North Valley neighborhood of Oceanside, this starter home gives first-time buyers a coastal North County San Diego address with room to grow, and the major work is already done. You can move in knowing the roof was fully replaced in  August 2024 and the kitchen was remodeled the same year, so your budget goes toward making the home yours instead of catching up on deferred maintenance. Vinyl flooring runs through the living spaces, and ceiling fans have been added in the living room and every bedroom. The single-level floor plan keeps all four bedrooms and both baths on one level with no stairs, a layout that works for young children, visiting grandparents, and aging in place. The two-car garage includes an expanded laundry area with added cabinets, storage, and a folding table. The biggest opportunity is what comes next: plans for a 450 sq. ft. Junior ADU (JADU) garage conversion have been submitted, paid, and are in process of approval with the City of Oceanside, bringing total structure area to 1,630 sq. ft. once built. If you are a growing or multi-generational family, that means private space for parents, in-laws, or adult children on the same property, or future rental income to help offset your mortgage. The backyard is its own reason to buy: a planted orchard of orange, Granny Smith apple, avocado, fig, loquat, lime, guava, pomegranate, passion fruit, and dragon fruit, so you can pick fresh fruit from your own yard throughout the year. A former storage room has been converted into a fully insulated home office with electricity and a ceiling fan, a separate work-from-home space that also works as a studio or homework room. New sprinklers and a slow-drip irrigation system keep the trees and yard easy to maintain, and the Moen Flo smart water monitoring system adds leak detection and shutoff protection for the whole home. Natural gas heat, city sewer, and an included stove, refrigerator, and microwave round out a practical, move-in-ready package. The home is served by Oceanside Unified School District. Arrowood Square and the Redondo Drive shops are about 0.4 miles away, San Luis Rey Crossing is under a mile, and nearby Luiseño Park in the Arrowood community offers baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, a playground, picnic areas, and a native interpretive garden. The San Luis Rey River Trail, a paved, mostly flat 9.5-mile bike and walking path that follows the river all the way to Oceanside Harbor, has its nearest entrance about 1 to 1.5 miles from the home, so weekend rides to the beach start minutes from your front door. Guajome Regional Park is roughly 6 minutes away, Tri-City Medical Center about 11 minutes, MiraCosta College about 12 minutes, and the Oceanside Transit Center with COASTER and Metrolink service about 15 minutes. Quick access to State Route 76 connects you to I-5 and I-15, making Oceanside a practical base for young professionals and Camp Pendleton families commuting throughout North County San Diego. If you are a first-time buyer ready to own, this home puts a usable yard and a built-in plan to expand within reach, while keeping you close to Oceanside beaches, the harbor, and the pier. Whether this is your first home or your family's long-term base in North County San Diego, this home is ready for its next chapter. Private showings available by appointment.
