Property description
Perched on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Olde Carlsbad, this fully renovated coastal retreat captures breathtaking ocean and sunset views from its elevated hillside setting. A spacious west-facing terrace with a pergola provides the perfect place to unwind while overlooking the blue Pacific, while a sparkling built-in pool adds to the home's private resort-style backyard. Completely reimagined in 2025, this exceptional residence features an open-concept floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings centered around a spectacular chef's kitchen. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the kitchen showcases panoramic ocean views, custom white oak slim shaker cabinetry, dual sinks, and an impressive 15-foot island topped with stunning Taj Mahal quartzite waterfall countertops. Adjacent to the kitchen, the inviting dining room features a wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter and a large skylight that fills the space with natural light. Just beyond, a cozy ocean-view lounge with a cedar plank ceiling and custom built-in cabinetry offers the perfect place to relax, complete with refrigerator drawers and a dedicated wine cooler. Designed with functionality in mind, the family-friendly floor plan offers a luxurious primary suite featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities and an oversized marble shower complete with a ceiling-mounted rainfall showerhead. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed bathroom with double vanities, providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Designer lighting, additional skylights, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout create a warm, inviting atmosphere rarely found in newer construction. Every detail has been carefully selected to blend timeless design with modern luxury. Additional highlights include: * Paid solar system * Ring security system * MyQ smart garage door opener * Resort-style pool and outdoor entertaining spaces * Fully renovated in 2025 * Located within the Coastal Zone, offering the potential for short-term rental use, subject to City of Carlsbad regulations and permitting. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey ocean-view home in one of Olde Carlsbad's most desirable neighborhoods, where luxury, privacy, and the coastal lifestyle come together beautifully.
