Description

Tucked quietly at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Olde Carlsbad, this fully reimagined coastal sanctuary sits on an expansive .23-acre lot just minutes from the beach inviting you to live, breathe, and feel the true essence of Southern California living. From first glance, the home’s striking curb appeal captures your attention. The brand-new wood-paneled garage door, fresh modern paint, and thoughtfully designed landscaping signal what’s to come: a home transformed with intention, craftsmanship, and heart. Remodeled top to bottom by Barker Brand Renovation known for their signature philosophy, “If you’re going to do it, do it right” this home reflects uncompromising quality in every detail. Step inside and feel the impact immediately. The dramatic living room is flooded with natural light from a large skylight and elevated by vaulted ceilings and a stunning 71” electric fireplace set into a custom designer wall with built-ins and niche lighting. The newly added mudroom enhances daily living with both beauty and function. At the heart of the home is the chef-inspired kitchen crafted for those who value both elegance and performance. Quartz countertops, a massive 9-foot island, custom cabinetry, and a full-height backsplash with integrated lighting create a sophisticated, showstopping centerpiece. A custom 48” hood and top-tier ZLINE appliances, including a 7-burner double oven, make hosting effortless. Ten-foot accordion doors expand the entire space into the backyard for true indoor-outdoor living. A versatile fourth bedroom with double glass shaker doors and a full closet offers a perfect flex space for an office, studio, guest room, or den. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a custom-built closet system and direct sliding-door access to the backyard. The spa-worthy ensuite bathroom elevates the everyday with a double vanity, Quartz counters, champagne bronze Delta fixtures, and an oversized walk-in waterfall shower wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tile with a pony wall and built-in bench. Secondary bedrooms are spacious and warm, while the guest bath features a chic herringbone accent wall and a custom glass sliding shower/tub combo with matching designer finishes. Outside, the expansive .23-acre lot offers endless opportunitycomplete with a patio, Alumawood pergola, new landscaping, and storage shed creating the perfect setting for gatherings, play, or quiet evenings under the stars. The garage is fully finished with fresh paint, recessed lighting, and a pristine epoxy-coated floor ideal for a workshop, gym, storage, or simply a polished extension of your living space. Additional upgrades include all-new LVP flooring throughout, new tile in bathrooms, modern baseboards, new interior and exterior doors, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, exterior/interior paint, and a new water heater all reflecting the home’s complete transformation. Perfectly located just minutes from Carlsbad State Beach, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, downtown Carlsbad, walking distance from top-rated schools, shopping, and dining this home is the perfect blend of modern luxury, thoughtful design, and relaxed coastal lifestyle. This is more than a home. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a feeling. It’s where your next chapter begins.

    "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."
