About This Property

Welcome to Your Timeless Ocean View Craftsman in Olde Carlsbad! Ocean views and coastal breezes await!  Coastal living doesn't get more charming than this! Perched on one of the most prestigious and sought-after streets in Carlsbad, this classic west-facing single-story home is hitting the market for the first time.  Originally built in 1941 and lovingly maintained through the decades, the main home offers 2,096 square feet of living space with 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Nestled above the detached two-car garage is a beautifully converted ADU-formerly a beloved family bonus room-complete with its own full kitchen and bath, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income.  The nearly 10,000 square foot lot features lush, well-manicured front and back yards. A long, private driveway offers generous off-street parking, and here's a fun local touch: the retaining wall was built using original pieces of the historic Pacific Coast Highway.  Enjoy indoor-outdoor living year-round with a covered patio off the kitchen and family room-perfect for entertaining. Start your day or unwind in the evening on the charming front patio, where coastal breezes and sunset views await. The galley kitchen is bright and functional, offering modern amenities and plenty of workspace. Just off the kitchen, a cozy dining nook welcomes natural west-facing light.  The great room is open and inviting, anchored by the original fireplace with classic hearth seating. The two secondary bedrooms are generously sized, and the expanded primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and a spacious en-suite bathroom.  Located on Highland Drive, this home offers the ultimate lifestyle and location-walking distance to the beach, Carlsbad Village, the lagoon, and the train station. You'll also be near top-rated schools, parks, the local library, and enjoy easy freeway access for a seamless commute.   Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Carlsbad's coastal history!
