Description
Situated on an elevated 15,040 sq ft lot within the prestigious gated enclave of La Costa Ridge, this designer-reimagined 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom residence delivers a rare trifecta: breathtaking sunrise and sunset vistas, peekaboo ocean views, and a level of finish that simply cannot be replicated at this price point. Spanning 5,039 square feet of thoughtfully transformed living space, the home was extensively renovated in 2024 with a keen eye for both beauty and wellness. The stunning chef's kitchen is anchored by Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, a statement 48" stainless steel sink, and curated Pottery Barn lighting. Beverly Hills Addition 10.5" wide-plank white oak hardwood flooring flows seamlessly throughout, while a dramatic 100" linear fireplace with custom stone surround and built-ins commands the main living space — setting an unmistakable tone of refined luxury. Every bedroom offers an en-suite bath, including a primary suite that functions as a private sanctuary, complete with a custom California Closet, spa-inspired upgrades, and quartz countertops. A dedicated home office with its own private entrance and a downstairs guest bedroom with separate entry provide versatile flexibility for multigenerational living or working from home in style. Wellness was a guiding principle throughout as seen in their use of zero VOC materials home-wide. Smart-home efficiency is maximized with owned solar, pool solar heating, and a new Pentair smart system. Step outside to your private saltwater pool oasis, complete with a removable safety gate, all framed by sweeping views and the natural serenity of one of Carlsbad's most sought-after communities. Truly turnkey and move-in ready. This is La Costa Ridge living at its finest.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSan Marcos High School is overall a pretty good school, the academics and community are strong, and my son has had mostly positive experiences there. However, I’ve been disappointed with his coach, Alex Turner, who has come across as unprofessional and arrogant in several interactions. His attitude has made it difficult for my son to feel supported and motivated on the team. It’s unfortunate, because with a more respectful and encouraging approach from the coaching staff, the athletic program could be just as impressive as the rest of the school.Parent Review7mo ago - La Costa Meadows Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is overall really good; they have amazing teachers, an administration team, and other faculty members. Their music program is amazing; their highest ensemble plays high school-level music and is so good. They have Honor English and an Accelerated Program in math, where you do 3 years of math in 2, but they're only available in 7th and 8th grade. However, in 6th grade, the work is VERY easy, so you might get bored, but I honestly think that is a good thing because when you go into the harder classes in 7th and 8th, you'll receive a bit of a higher workload. In addition, the teachers are so good; I have so many good teachers. The principal, Tricia Storey, is really good, and the assistant principals are very proactive and are always trying to help other students and do NOT tolerate bullying. I assure you, if you go to this school, you'll make so many friends, and you will enjoy your time here for all 3 years.Student Review6mo ago
