Description

In a world of single-family homes built right on top of each other, this Ranch-style home in Old Carlsbad is a breath of fresh air! With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and plenty of room to spread out, you’ll love the flexibility of the floor plan—featuring a bonus formal living room with a fireplace, a separate dining room, and a dedicated laundry room. The bonus room can be anything you need it to be: a playroom, music room, home gym, yoga studio, craft space—you name it. Storage is no issue here, with hallway cabinetry, a walk-in closet in the primary suite, and custom cabinets in both the kitchen and laundry room offering tons of space. Set at the front of a shared driveway on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home sits back from the road, giving it a peaceful, private feel. The backyard is made for outdoor living with low-maintenance hardscaping, mature palms and succulents, garden space, and a built-in BBQ and kitchen area—perfect for entertaining. After a long day, retreat to the spacious primary suite, soak in the tub, or open the French doors to your private patio and let the ocean breeze drift in. The location is just as special—walk to Magnolia Elementary, Valley Middle School, and Carlsbad High. You're also just minutes from the 5 freeway, El Camino Real corridor, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, Starbucks, and only one mile to Carlsbad State Beach!

    "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."
