About this House

Brand new and built with intention, 2780 James Dr sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable neighborhoods — just minutes from the beach, Carlsbad Village, and local parks and trails. This 2024 custom home brings together high design, thoughtful functionality, and a coastal lifestyle that feels both elevated and effortless. With 4 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a detached ADU with its own full bath, the layout offers over 4,000 square feet of open, light-filled living. Designed for flexibility and flow, it’s a home that adapts — whether you’re hosting, resetting, or simply living well. Inside, premium materials and intentional details speak for themselves: white oak flooring, natural Taj Mahal stone, fully built-out closets, Lutron lighting, and integrated smart-home features including sound, security, and pool controls — all accessible from a single hub. The main living space opens to a private backyard retreat complete with a smart-controlled pool and spa, outdoor kitchen + BBQ, and newly planted privacy hedges that wrap around the lot and will mature beautifully over time. Upstairs, the primary suite is a standout — double white oak entry doors, a wraparound balcony, spa-inspired bathroom, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a center island — designed to feel like your own personal boutique. Everything about this home was done with care — from layout to finish, from technology to tone. It’s elevated, modern, and built to enhance the way you live — every day. A special offering in one of coastal Carlsbad’s most sought-after pockets.

    "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."
