    What's special

    Welcome to 5091 El Arbol, a rare opportunity in Terramar, one of Carlsbad's most sought after beachside neighborhoods. Just two blocks from the sand with private beach access, this beautifully remodeled single level home offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, modern finishes, and even further future potential. Completely renovated from top to bottom, the home has been thoughtfully transformed with exceptional attention to detail. Major improvements include new plumbing, electrical, windows, doors, appliances, driveway, landscaping, and a premium standing seam metal roof designed for both beauty and longevity. Every space has been reimagined to create a move in ready coastal retreat. Inside, multiple living spaces flow seamlessly to a private backyard designed for year round enjoyment. The newly remodeled pool and spa feature all new equipment and a wireless pool management system, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the Southern California lifestyle. Just off the pool is a detached office with electrical, providing the perfect work from home setup, creative studio, fitness room, or additional flex space. A standout feature is the detached bedroom and bathroom suite with its own private entrance. Ideal as a guest retreat, second primary suite, in law quarters, larger office, or rental unit, it offers a level of flexibility that is rarely available. Set on an oversized 11,700 square foot lot, the property offers room to grow with potential for an ADU, expansion, or even a future second story with breathtaking ocean views. The property also features an EV charging outlet in the garage and exceptional parking options, including space for RV, boat, or trailer parking. With room for 8+ vehicles across the driveway and exterior parking areas, this is a rare convenience in a beachside location. The combination of a large usable lot, resort style pool, detached guest suite, separate office, and single level layout makes this one of the most unique offerings in Terramar. With an unbeatable location near the beach and extensive upgrades throughout, 5091 El Arbol is a special property that offers an incredible lifestyle today and exciting possibilities for the future.
