About this House

In Olde Carlsbad, where coastal ease meets established character, this expansive residence offers a rare balance of scale, flexibility, and privacy—just 1.5 miles from the shoreline and moments from the energy of the Village. Designed with multigenerational living in mind, the layout unfolds with intention. Five bedrooms and 3.5 baths are complemented by a dedicated office and two oversized bonus rooms, creating a framework that adapts as life evolves. One of these bonus spaces features its own private entrance—ideal for a studio, guest quarters, or independent living. On the main level, a private suite anchors the home with a full bedroom, den, and bath. Adjacent, a generous bonus room presents a natural opportunity for an ADU or refined in-law retreat, offering both separation and connection. At the heart of the home, the kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, where a fireplace and breakfast nook invite a more relaxed rhythm of living. A separate formal dining room provides a distinct setting for curated gatherings and evening rituals. Outdoors, a secluded backyard reveals a resort-like atmosphere. A pool and spa are framed by mature landscaping, creating a setting designed for long afternoons, intimate evenings, and entertaining. Owned solar adds a forward-thinking layer of efficiency, aligning comfort with long-term sustainability. Positioned near Carlsbad High and within close reach of the Village’s dining and boutiques, this is a residence that prioritizes both lifestyle and longevity—an opportunity to inhabit space with purpose and proximity. Upstairs, each bedroom is complemented by its own loft—creating layered, flexible living within every space—while new carpet introduces a fresh, tailored finish throughout. The garage is elevated with epoxy flooring and built-in cabinetry.

    "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."
