Welcome to a rare gem in the heart of Olde Carlsbad! Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on one of the area’s most sought-after streets, this property seamlessly combines timeless charm, modern functionality, and an enviable location. Set on a generous 0.3-acre lot, the property includes a meticulously maintained main residence, a detached ADU, a detached two-car garage with an upstairs bonus studio, and beautifully landscaped gardens that invite relaxation and entertaining. With ocean views and a serene neighborhood setting, this home is just moments from Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Tamarack Beach. The 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath main residence welcomes you with a thoughtful layout designed for comfort and style. High vaulted ceilings elevate the open-concept kitchen and family room, where a cozy fireplace serves as the heart of the space, perfect for daily living or hosting gatherings. The kitchen features two sinks, an island, sleek single-surface counters, and a built-in desk. Sliding glass doors lead to an outdoor patio, ideal for alfresco dining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a secondary living room bathes in natural light from oversized windows, while the formal dining room provides an elegant setting for special occasions. A second fireplace in the main entryway creates a warm and inviting first impression. The primary suite offers an ensuite bath, a spacious walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard. Three additional guest bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath, and a convenient half bath near the entryway rounds out the home’s functional layout. The main residence also features washer/dryer hookups in the garage. Beyond the main residence, the property boasts an additional bedroom in the detached ADU and a bonus optional 6th bedroom in the upstairs studio above the garage. This flexible configuration is perfect for accommodating multigenerational living, guest stays, or generating rental income. The detached ADU enhances the property’s versatility, featuring a kitchenette (including a microwave), a stackable washer/dryer, and a comfortable living area. The detached, drywalled two-car garage with 10-foot ceilings offers ample storage and utility with custom built-ins, while the bonus studio above—with its private balcony—provides endless possibilities as an office, art studio, fitness room, or optional bedroom. Additional parking next to the garage ensures plenty of room for RVs, boats, or extra vehicles. The outdoor spaces are as inviting as the interiors. The expansive patio is complete with an outdoor shower and a stainless steel utility sink, while the fertile backyard features a variety of mature fruit trees, creating a gardener’s paradise. The property’s gentle slope allows for refreshing ocean breezes and even a glimpse of the ocean, enhancing the idyllic coastal ambiance. Located just 1.5 miles from Tamarack Beach and Agua Hedionda Lagoon, this home provides easy access to Carlsbad Village, Legoland, and stunning sandy beaches. Highly rated schools, local restaurants, and shopping are all within reach, making this property a harmonious blend of convenience, charm, and coastal living. Don’t miss your chance to own this exceptional home in a cherished community—your dream lifestyle awaits!
