Rarely does a home combine this level of thoughtful upgrading, functional design, efficiency, and location into one truly turnkey opportunity. Built in 2012 within an intimate enclave of just 53 homes in La Costa, this extensively improved Carlsbad residence offers the comfort of newer construction paired with high-end finishes, modern efficiency, and low-maintenance living throughout. The floor plan was intentionally designed and further optimized to maximize flexibility and usability. Every bedroom features its own private full bathroom. A versatile front room with custom slow-close pocket doors easily adapts as a private office, guest room, den, library, playroom, or formal living space depending on your needs. Upstairs, a spacious loft creates an additional multipurpose area ideal for work, fitness, media, study, or a secondary lounge. At the heart of the home is a fully renovated chef’s kitchen featuring a complete suite of high-end Thermador appliances, including a six-burner range and counter-depth refrigerator, along with a matching microwave and dishwasher. Designed with both beauty and functionality in mind, the kitchen also offers quality shaker-style cabinetry with pull-out drawers, lazy Susan storage, a dedicated spice cabinet, an oversized island with storage on both sides, durable quartz countertops, an enameled cast iron farmhouse sink, and a built-in reverse osmosis drinking water system. Designer upgrades continue throughout with renovated bathrooms, updated vanities, mirrors, lighting, flooring, upgraded baseboards and trim, luxury vinyl plank flooring downstairs, new carpet upstairs, designer tile flooring in bathrooms and utility areas, LED recessed lighting, ceiling fans with smart controls, custom UV-blocking pull-down shades, and organized closet systems. The epoxy-coated garage includes overhead storage, and even the upstairs laundry room was thoughtfully designed with a dedicated cordless vacuum outlet. The home was also improved with long-term comfort and efficiency in mind, including fully owned solar installed in 2020 with favorable SDG&E structure, whole-home water filtration and softening systems, a tankless water heater, Tesla EV charger, drought-tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, and numerous low-maintenance enhancements throughout. No solar lease. No additional system payments. Simply move in and enjoy. One of the standout features is the backyard setting. Positioned against a peaceful greenbelt and trail system with no direct rear neighbor, the outdoor space offers exceptional privacy and a rare connection to nature within a newer community. Enjoy direct access to Ridge Trail, wildlife views, producing fruit trees, cedar planter boxes, lush landscaping, and a covered pergola with voice-activated lighting that creates an inviting atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining. The yard is one of the larger outdoor spaces in the community while maintaining a clean, low-maintenance design. Located within a highly regarded school district and just minutes from Carlsbad beaches, shopping, dining, and North County amenities, this home offers a rare blend of design, efficiency, flexibility, and lifestyle in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable neighborhoods.
