About This Home

As of October 2025

Gorgeous Carlsbad Coastal Home nestled on a highly sought-after street. This 1 story, single-family home, offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, modern upgrades, and unbeatable location. Featuring 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a convenient half bath. The home has been thoughtfully renovated with new flooring, fresh paint, modern fixtures, and more! Inside, you’ll enjoy cozy evenings with two fireplaces—a classic wood-burning fireplace for those chilly nights and a modern electric fireplace with customizable lighting and optional no-heat mode. Perfect for year-round ambiance. The 2-car garage not only offers ample space for storage and parking, it also contains a Laundry Room with an additional separate entrance from side of the home. Take in peek-a-boo ocean views right from your kitchen window, and maximize your coastal experience by adding a rooftop deck for stunning 180-degree ocean views—ideal for watching sunsets over the Pacific. The generous lot size offers multiple outdoor living options, including: a private gated space for a trailer or small RV, a relaxing backyard patio with canopy for lounging or entertaining and a spacious front yard for an additional outdoor area to enjoy. Located walking distance to the beach, Carlsbad Village, and top-rated schools including Magnolia Elementary, Valley Middle School, and Carlsbad High. Best of all—NO HOA or Mello-Roos. This is a rare opportunity to own in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable neighborhoods.
