About this home

An amazing opportunity for an Airbnb or VRBO investment—or simply your own private waterfront retreat—this rarely available Carlsbad home is tucked away at the very end of a private drive shared with just one other home. This home opens up to sweeping, panoramic views of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon stretching all the way to the Pacific. Set on a nearly 20,000 sq ft lot, it offers exceptional privacy, breathtaking vistas from nearly every room, and direct access to the water—where kayaking, wakeboarding, and unforgettable sunsets can be part of everyday life. The flexible floor plan lives like a single story, with the primary suite located on the main level. Double front doors open to sweeping water views that immediately draw your eye across the open-concept living space. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace add warmth and charm, while oversized sliders lead to a wraparound deck that stretches along the lagoon-facing side of the home—creating a seamless indoor/outdoor connection. The adjacent dining area with a second set of sliding glass doors, flows easily into a modern kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, SS appliances, and a walk-in pantry. With natural light pouring in, the layout makes everything—from daily routines to entertaining—feel bright, open, and effortless. The main-level primary suite is peaceful and light-filled, with vaulted ceilings, large picture windows, and a beautifully refreshed ensuite featuring a walk-in shower, dual sinks, a vanity area, and a spacious walk-in closet. Downstairs, three guest bedrooms share a full bath and connect to a large, lounge-style living area with direct backyard access—perfect for game nights, movie marathons, or relaxed gatherings. A separate bonus room with custom built-ins adds extra flexibility, whether you need creative space or extra storage. Outside, the backyard is designed to take full advantage of the setting. A spacious stamped concrete patio offers plenty of room to relax or dine outdoors, while a built-in shuffleboard court brings a playful touch. Meandering garden paths wind through native plants, colorful blooms, and mature trees, gently guiding you toward the water’s edge—all framed by breathtaking sunset skies. With no HOA, a solar agreement already in place, and a location just minutes from Carlsbad Village, local beaches, and I-5, this is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. A rare chance to own a true waterfront retreat, where every day feels like a breath of fresh air.

Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1999, presents as move-in ready with significant recent updates. The description highlights a 'modern kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, SS appliances' and a 'beautifully refreshed ensuite' in the primary bathroom, both of which are confirmed by the images showing contemporary finishes, white cabinetry, and updated fixtures. The flooring is a mix of modern wood-look planks and clean carpeting. The exterior features a modern composite deck and well-maintained landscaping. While the home is 25 years old, the extensive renovations in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, along with the solar agreement, indicate a well-maintained property that has undergone substantial updates within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.

Exceptional Privacy & Large Lot: Tucked away at the end of a private drive shared with only one other home, and set on a nearly 20,000 sq ft lot, the property offers exceptional privacy and a serene retreat atmosphere.
Strong Investment Potential: Explicitly highlighted as an amazing opportunity for Airbnb or VRBO investment, indicating high income-generating potential due to its desirable location and features.
Flexible Layout & Main Level Primary Suite: The flexible floor plan lives like a single story with the primary suite conveniently located on the main level, appealing to a broad range of buyers seeking accessibility and comfort.
Modern Updates & Desirable Amenities: Features a modern kitchen with quartz countertops and SS appliances, a refreshed primary ensuite, a large lounge-style living area, bonus room, and outdoor amenities like a stamped concrete patio and shuffleboard court, enhancing livability and entertainment.

Cons

Age of Core Systems: Built in 1999, while cosmetically updated, major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original and nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement.
No Explicit Mention of Central Air Conditioning: Despite large windows and natural light, the description does not explicitly mention a central cooling system, which could be a drawback for some buyers in Carlsbad's warmer months.
Shared Private Drive: While contributing to privacy, the property shares a private drive with one other home, which could entail shared maintenance responsibilities or potential for minor access coordination.
