About This Property

Located on a private cul-de-sac in Olde Carlsbad, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,246 square feet of living space on an expansive 8,500-square-foot lot, just one mile from the beach.  Fresh exterior paint and newly completed front landscaping create a polished first impression. Inside, wood flooring extends throughout the main level, while brand-new carpet has been installed upstairs. The original living room, complete with a fireplace, has been converted into a main-level bedroom and could also serve as a home office.  The generously sized kitchen features stainless steel appliances and opens to a comfortable family room with a charming window seat. The adjacent dining room overlooks the backyard, providing a peaceful setting for both everyday meals and entertaining.  Upstairs, the spacious primary suite enjoys garden views and features a remodeled bathroom and two walk-in closets. Two generously sized secondary bedrooms offer built-in closet storage.  The expansive and private backyard is designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Extensive hardscape includes a built-in barbecue island and an oversized outdoor fireplace, while a large lawn provides plenty of additional open space. A detached bonus room offers flexibility as an office, studio, gym, or playroom. The property also includes a substantial storage shed with excellent workshop potential.  Fully owned Solar, whole house fan, and a Tesla charger!   Ideally located near the beach, Carlsbad Village, shops, restaurants, and nearby schools, this home combines flexible living spaces, an exceptional private lot, and a prime Olde Carlsbad location.
