This gorgeous move-in ready 4bed/3bath two-story home, situated on a tucked-away street and set on one of the most private lots in the neighborhood, offers a variety of outdoor and indoor living options that is rare to find. Entering the home, you are greeted by its spacious and inviting layout with custom epoxy-stained floors, solid wood shutters and modern transitional finishes throughout. Beyond the formal family room adjacent to the entryway, the home flows directly through the dining room to the light-filled main living room featuring a stone front fireplace and access to the outdoor entertaining area. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and beautiful oak cabinetry. A connected hallway and laundry room with built-in storage cabinets leads to a full bathroom and a private main floor bedroom/office flex space with the potential to be converted to an ADU or separate apartment. Upstairs, you will find the expansive primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom, large closets and views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. Also upstairs are 2 additional full-size bedrooms, another full bathroom and a linen closet for additional storage. In addition to being walkable/bikeable to the abundance of dining and shopping options found in Carlsbad Village and its world class oceanfront, this home falls within the prestigious Carlsbad Unified School District and accessible to wonderful community amenities. Come and see this exceptional home for yourself and take advantage of this rare opportunity to write the next chapter of your story in the perfect location and setting.
