About this House

Ocean views and contemporary coastal elegance define this exceptional Olde Carlsbad home. Filled with natural light and showcasing quality craftsmanship throughout, the residence offers a modern open floor plan that captures ocean views from multiple vantage points, including the expansive wraparound deck—an ideal setting for relaxing or enjoying breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific. The freshly painted exterior enhances the home’s crisp coastal presentation, while beautifully upgraded bathrooms feature stylish finishes and thoughtful design, elevating both comfort and appeal. The spacious chef’s kitchen offers generous counter space, abundant cabinetry, built-in stainless steel appliances, and a Dacor professional-grade gas five-burner cooktop with a contemporary range hood—perfectly suited for everyday living and entertaining. The adjacent family room and dining area flow seamlessly to the ocean-view deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The formal living room exudes a distinctive mid-century feel, highlighted by beautiful hardwood floating shelves and double French doors that open onto a private patio—an inviting space for gatherings or quiet retreat. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite enjoys coastal views and features French doors that open directly to the wraparound deck, along with ample closet space and a newly upgraded Master Suite bathroom with dual sinks, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in glass shower. On the lower level, two additional bedrooms share a beautifully upgraded, spa-inspired Jack-and-Jill bathroom with dual sinks, and a spacious walk-in glass shower with modern, elegant finishes. One bedroom opens out to the backyard via both French doors, and a sliding glass patio door. Additional highlights include Santos mahogany and travertine flooring, plantation shutters, a dedicated upstairs laundry room, generous storage throughout, a two-car garage, and ample parking for additional cars in the driveway. Situated on a quiet street on a 7,707-square-foot lot, the grassy backyard wraps around the home and provides multiple areas for outdoor enjoyment. Located within walking distance to Carlsbad Village, beaches, shops, dining, and local schools, this property offers the quintessential coastal lifestyle with no HOA or Mello-Roos.

    "Hopefully as a dog owner, respecting to not have your animals going on other neighbors property. However there are often times it can’t be helped, so always pick up your dogs deposits. There are a lot of people who walk their dogs and it is a very pet friendly area. "

    "I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 30 years the schools are amazing the people are even better I love this neighborhood the weather is perfect the beaches are great. The only thing that leaves to be desired is public office. Same with the police department there on the good old boy schedule so if you don’t know anybody you won’t get hired. Just let you know not that I’m looking for a job with them."

    "Olde Carlsbad is one of the best coastal SoCal neighborhoods, especially for families! Mixes the Olde & the new very well with coastal weather/breezes, urban diversity/density, bike/walk/transit friendly with great suburban schools, safety & family friendly amenities. Best of both worlds quietly tucked between SD to the south, with OC & LA to the north."

    "Pickleball at St Michaels Episcopal church where the spirit of a community and inclusion make every game a treat. There are good players at every level and the paddle wheel makes it easy to work in the flow of games. If you like making friends, stick around for an evening bbq with a great group of people. The Carlsbad Music Festival centers at St Michaels and brings many music lovers into the center of the community. They also sponsor a Wine Festival in October that seems like a special occasion."
