About this home

West of El Camino Real on a quiet private street, this beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom + office home offers space, privacy, and the coveted Carlsbad coastal lifestyle. Located just 2 miles from the beach and Carlsbad Village, and near top-rated schools including Magnolia Elementary and Carlsbad High School, the home sits on an expansive nearly 25,000 SF lot with stunning valley and mountain views. Thoughtfully updated throughout, the main level features vaulted ceilings, skylights, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a designer chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Moroccan zellige tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, oversized island, and wine-fridge space. Two finished bonus rooms downstairs provide flexible space for a gym, playroom, media room, guest quarters, or multigenerational living. The spacious primary suite enjoys peaceful views, a bay window, and a spa-inspired walk-in shower. Major upgrades include new plumbing and sewer line, replaced gas lines, updated electrical with sub-panel, new garage door, and fresh interior and exterior paint. Outdoor living shines with a new Trex deck, large grassy yard, vegetable and herb gardens, mature landscaping, retractable awning, and multiple entertaining areas. Additional features include RV/boat parking, a paver driveway, 2-car garage, no HOA, and no Mello-Roos. Lower-yard photos have been AI-enhanced to illustrate potential pool and ADU opportunities.
