About This Home

Crafted by award-winning designer Joe Cristilli, this Carlsbad home seamlessly blends coastal beauty with elevated privacy. Enjoy tranquil water views from the primary bedroom, where the suite occupies its own level with a private patio perfect for quiet moments. Newly renovated with new flooring, windows, blinds, and a washer/dryer, this home feels fresh and modern. The first level features two additional bedrooms—one with its own en-suite bathroom—and a versatile den that can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home gym, or art studio. Soaring 20-foot ceilings in the family room enhance the open feel, while the living room offers additional water views and a Sonos sound system throughout. This low-maintenance home is perfect for those seeking a “lock & leave” coastal escape, ideal for second homeowners or frequent travelers. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, RV parking, and a private second-floor deck. Located just one block from the beach and within walking distance to Carlsbad Village shops and dining.
