Second time on the market in 65 years — now completely reimagined and virtually rebuilt, offering the feel of new construction. Within the past five years the home has undergone a full high-end remodel with luxury finishes and smart home controls throughout. Extensive upgrades include La Cantina folding doors, French oak floors, new windows, solid wood doors, new appliances, owned solar, custom pool and spa, EV chargers, new HVAC, pool bath, LED lighting, new electrical and main panel, new sewer line, whole-home water filtration system, tankless water heater, and more. Located west of the 5, just steps to Carlsbad Village and the beach on a quiet cul de sac. Desert landscaping helps conserve water, owned solar reduces energy costs, and there is no HOA. The open, light-filled floor plan features premium finishes, designer details, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Outside, enjoy a private custom pool and inviting outdoor spaces that create a true resort-style retreat.
