About this home

Welcome to your new Coastal Oasis, situated just two blocks from your private beach access available to residents of Terramar. Settling into your one-of-a-kind custom-built, single-level home completed in 2022 will be a breeze! Situated on a spacious 10,100 sq. ft. lot, this fully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers 2,100 sq. ft. of beautifully curated living space. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a beautiful custom barrel beadboard ceiling and an airy, open-concept layout filled with natural light, vaulted ceilings in the main living areas and primary suite, elegant archways, and thoughtful custom design elements throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring a premium Thermador six-burner range, Zephyr stainless hood, dual Elkay sinks (including a prep sink on the quartzite island), custom cabinetry, and oversized drawers—perfect for everyday living and coastal entertaining. The large family room includes a cozy modern fireplace and skylights that add warmth and brightness. The powder room and jack/jill bathroom both feature beachy beadboard, colorful tile, and custom cabinetry. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat with vaulted ceilings, a built-in closet system, and sliding doors that open to a secluded patio with a private jacuzzi. The spa-inspired primary bath features a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a luxurious walk-in shower with both rain and standard heads. The outdoor living spaces are nothing short of spectacular, with three vaulted patios—one in front with a gas fire feature, and two in the back outfitted with ceiling fans, heaters, and a fire ring. A built-in BBQ island connects seamlessly with the kitchen, creating the ultimate setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. Built for comfort and sustainability, this home features a SunRun solar system with a garage EV charger, a Navien tankless water heater, a high-efficiency HVAC system with a slimline A/C unit, an upgraded gas meter, dual electrical panels, and all-new wiring and lighting throughout. Additional features include Milgard dual-pane windows and sliders, fire-resistant cement board siding, and a truss roof with plywood flashing for year-round energy efficiency. The backyard is plumbed and ready to add your own ADU or guest house. Rare opportunity to own a turn-key home in Terramar, on one of its largest lots and in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable beachside enclaves. The option to purchase a key for $150, which provides direct, private access to the ocean, is a bonus enjoyed by Terramar residents.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location & Private Beach Access: Situated just two blocks from private beach access available to Terramar residents, this home is in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable beachside enclaves.
Brand New Custom Construction & Modern Design: Completed in 2022, this custom-built, single-level home features an airy, open-concept layout with vaulted ceilings, elegant archways, and thoughtful custom design elements throughout.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen: The kitchen is a showstopper with a premium Thermador six-burner range, Zephyr stainless hood, dual Elkay sinks, custom cabinetry, and an oversized quartzite island.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Large Lot: A spacious 10,100 sq. ft. lot includes three vaulted patios with a gas fire feature, ceiling fans, heaters, a fire ring, a built-in BBQ island, and a private jacuzzi.
Advanced Energy Efficiency & Modern Infrastructure: Equipped with a SunRun solar system, EV charger, tankless water heater, high-efficiency HVAC, dual electrical panels, new wiring, Milgard dual-pane windows, and fire-resistant siding.

Cons

Recent Significant Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price drops from an original list price of $3.395M to $2.995M, indicating potential overpricing or challenges in market valuation.
Absence of Ocean View: Despite its proximity to the beach, the property explicitly states 'view: None,' which may be a drawback for buyers seeking direct ocean vistas in a premium coastal location.
Modest Interior Square Footage for Price Point: With 2,100 sq. ft. of living space, the interior size might be considered modest for a nearly $3 million custom home, potentially limiting appeal for buyers desiring more expansive luxury interiors.
