Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1995 and explicitly marketed as a 'cosmetic fixer,' the property maintains its original architectural integrity but requires modernization. While the kitchen features some updates like painted cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and certain areas have newer flooring, the overall aesthetic—including the 90s-style fireplaces, built-ins, and fixtures—shows significant age. The home is functional and well-maintained but lacks the contemporary finishes expected for its price point and scale.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 45738, living area = 6388.
Situated on a gated, lush one-acre lot with a long driveway, the property offers a rare level of privacy and scale within a prestigious Carlsbad community.
As a 6,388-square-foot 'cosmetic fixer' with strong architectural bones, this estate presents an exceptional opportunity for a buyer to modernize and create a high-value legacy estate.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 6388, other record living area = 5400.
The home is identified as a fixer-upper, meaning buyers must budget for significant additional capital to update 1995-era finishes to modern luxury standards.
The vast 6,388-square-foot interior and nearly one acre of mature landscaping will require substantial ongoing costs for utilities, cleaning, and groundskeeping.
