About this House

Welcome to 1801 Ratcliff Road, a beautifully reimagined Olde Carlsbad home where thoughtful design, extensive upgrades, and exceptional outdoor space come together just minutes from Carlsbad Village, our beautiful beaches, and our amazing Carlsbad schools. This home was extensively remodeled in 2021, and since then the home has continued to evolve under the current owners, including a redesigned kitchen created with entertaining and everyday living in mind. The centerpiece is an oversized island, complemented by abundant cabinetry and storage, creating a natural gathering place for family and friends—whether you're cooking, baking, entertaining, or simply starting the day. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, skylights, an open-beam ceiling in the great room, a fireplace, updated windows and flooring, tankless water heater, upgraded electrical panel, as well as EV charging. Owned solar paired with two Tesla Powerwall battery backups adds another level of energy savings and energy independence, and peace of mind. Outside, both the front and rear yards have been extensively redesigned with a distinctive blend of Corten steel planters, decomposed granite, mature landscaping, and numerous fruit trees. The expansive front yard also provides valuable additional space with the potential to accommodate a Sprinter van, trailer, or an RV . Set on a generous cul-de-sac lot, the property offers exciting possibilities for the future, including potential space for a pool or ADU. With Carlsbad Village, the beach, restaurants, shopping, and highly regarded schools just minutes away, the location captures so much of what makes living in Olde Carlsbad special. 1801 Ratcliff Road hasn’t simply been remodeled, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a home designed for how people want to live, gather, and entertain today.

    "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."
