Ocean Views, Endless Potential, and a Prime Carlsbad Location Nestled just minutes from the vibrant heart of downtown Carlsbad, this unique coastal property offers ocean views, cooling sea breezes, and exceptional space—inside and out. Making its debut on the market for the first time since it was built in 1986, the residence presents a rare opportunity to infuse your personal vision and style into a truly special home. Prominently situated with approximately 108 feet of street frontage, the home is framed by an expansive front yard and boasts standout curb appeal in the neighborhood. Inside, the generous open floor plan includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms all on the main level, thoughtfully laid out for both privacy and functionality—ideal for families or multi-generational living. The large kitchen is designed with entertaining in mind, featuring two sink/prep areas and an oversized island, while hardwood flooring and dual-pane casement windows bring warmth and efficiency to the space. A standout feature is the spacious second-level loft, perfect as a media room, studio, or home office. Just beyond, an undeveloped attic area offers an exciting opportunity for expansion—ready for your imagination to shape it into a new living space, gym, or creative retreat. The enclosed rear patio with adjacent decking opens to a sizeable, underutilized portion of the yard—ideal for transforming into a private outdoor entertaining area or garden oasis. Perched on a gentle rise, the home captures stunning ocean breezes year-round, enhancing the serene Southern California lifestyle.
