Custom Coastal Oasis is just two blocks from your private beach access and is available to Terramar residents for $150 per year. Settling into your one-of-a-kind, custom-built, single-level home completed in 2022 will be a breeze! Set on a spacious 10,100 sq. ft. lot, this fully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers 2,100 sq. ft. of beautifully curated living space. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a beautiful custom barrel-beadboard ceiling and an airy, open-concept layout filled with natural light, vaulted ceilings in the main living areas and the primary suite, elegant archways, and thoughtful custom design elements throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring a premium Thermador six-burner range, Zephyr stainless hood, dual Elkay sinks (including a prep sink on the quartzite island), custom cabinetry, and oversized drawers—perfect for everyday living and coastal entertaining. The large family room includes a cozy modern fireplace and skylights that add warmth and brightness. The powder room and jack/jill bathroom both feature beachy beadboard, colorful tile, and custom cabinetry. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat with vaulted ceilings, a built-in closet system, and sliding doors that open to a covered and heated patio with a private jacuzzi. The spa-inspired primary bath features a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a luxurious walk-in shower with both rain and standard heads. The outdoor living spaces are nothing short of spectacular, with three vaulted patios—one in front with a gas fire feature, and two in the back outfitted with ceiling fans, heaters, and a fire ring. A built-in BBQ island connects seamlessly with the kitchen, creating the ultimate setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. Built for comfort and sustainability, this home features a SunRun solar system with a garage EV charger, a Navien tankless water heater, a high-efficiency HVAC system with a slimline A/C unit, an upgraded gas meter, dual electrical panels, and all-new wiring and lighting throughout. Additional features include Milgard dual-pane windows and sliders, fire-resistant cement board siding, and a truss roof with plywood flashing for year-round energy efficiency. The backyard is plumbed and ready to add your own ADU or guest house. Rare opportunity to own a custom single-level home in Terramar, on one of its largest lots, and in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable beachside enclaves. The option to purchase a $150 key that provides direct, private access to the ocean is a bonus for Terramar residents.

This property was custom-built and completed in 2022, making it virtually brand new. The description highlights a 'chef’s kitchen' with premium Thermador appliances, quartzite island, and custom cabinetry, which is confirmed by the images showing a pristine, modern kitchen. Bathrooms are equally impressive, described as 'spa-inspired' with soaking tubs, dual vanities, luxurious walk-in showers, and custom tile work, all appearing new and high-end in the photos. The entire home features new systems including solar, tankless water heater, high-efficiency HVAC, new wiring, lighting, and Milgard dual-pane windows. Flooring is consistently modern wood-look throughout the main areas, with stylish tile in bathrooms. There is no deferred maintenance, and all components meet current quality standards, perfectly aligning with the 'excellent' criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10100, living area = 2100.
Great Schools: High School: Sage Creek High School (9/10).
Exclusive Coastal Location & Private Beach Access: The property is ideally situated just two blocks from private beach access, available to Terramar residents for a nominal annual fee, placing it in one of Carlsbad's most desirable beachside enclaves.
New Construction & Custom Design (2022): A custom-built, single-level home completed in 2022, featuring a fully reimagined design with vaulted ceilings, elegant archways, and thoughtful custom elements throughout.

Cons

No Ocean View: Despite its proximity to the beach, the property description explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a significant drawback for buyers expecting an ocean view in a coastal luxury home.
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 2,100 sq. ft., the interior living space might be considered modest for a nearly $3 million property on a 10,100 sq. ft. lot, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking larger homes.
Absence of a Swimming Pool: For a luxury coastal property with extensive outdoor amenities and a large lot, the lack of a full swimming pool could be a notable omission for some high-end buyers.
