Tucked within the gated community of Mar Brisa, this beautifully upgraded home blends modern finishes and a cul-de-sac setting. Soaring double-height ceilings and expansive windows create a bright, airy atmosphere. Nearly every detail has been refreshed within the past five years, including a remodeled kitchen, luxury vinyl flooring, baseboards and crown molding, interior and exterior paint, doors, recessed lighting, fixtures, landscaping, turf, and mulch.  The kitchen features a quartz slab island, matte grey quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a 6-burner Kucht range with pot filler. The living room offers a cozy fireplace and seamless connection to the backyard, where updated landscaping and turf create an inviting outdoor retreat.  Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a private balcony with ocean views and spectacular sunsets. A spiral staircase connects the backyard directly to the balcony deck with glass panels for unobstructed views. Secondary bedrooms and a versatile bonus room, ideal as an office, media room, playroom, or potential fifth bedroom, are also located upstairs.  A downstairs bedroom sits adjacent to a half bath with completed plans for conversion to a full bath, offering excellent guest or multigenerational living potential. Residents enjoy gated access, two parks, and a remodeled saltwater pool and spa. Additional highlights include financed solar and a prime location near Carlsbad beaches, shopping, dining, and highly regarded schools. A rare opportunity to enjoy ocean views and an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
