About This Home
As of October 2025Every day feels like a getaway in this beautiful home in the heart of La Costa Knolls, with some of the most stunning views in Carlsbad. Perched on a hillside on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this home was designed to take full advantage of its setting—you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views from nearly every angle, with rolling hills and unforgettable sunsets as your daily backdrop. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee, hosting friends, or winding down in the evening, the views here make every moment feel special. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open floor plan with French oak floors, plantation shutters, and two cozy fireplaces that set a warm, inviting tone. An extra-wide staircase makes a striking statement, while a convenient main-floor bedroom with direct access to the backyard offers flexibility as a guest room or the perfect home office. The kitchen was fully remodeled just 5 years ago and is a chef’s dream, featuring a 6-burner gas range, gorgeous stainless steel appliances, and stunning countertops. The bathrooms have all been beautifully updated as well, and the primary suite feels like a personal retreat, featuring a freestanding soaking tub for a spa-like touch, plus private access to the Trex deck (under 5 years old), where you can step out and take in the views from sunrise to sunset. The backyard is perfect for entertaining, with plenty of space for gatherings, barbecues, or simply soaking in the gorgeous Carlsbad weather and scenery. A 3-car garage with upgraded flooring and generous storage pairs beautifully with the newer roof (under 5 years old), showcasing the thoughtful care this home has received. Even better—there’s no HOA and no Mello Roos. Living in La Costa Knolls means being close to top-rated schools, golf courses, hiking trails, shopping at La Costa Town Square and The Forum, and just a short drive from Carlsbad’s beautiful beaches. It’s the perfect balance of convenience, community, and everyday luxury.
