About this home

Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind residence in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Rancho La Costa. Perched in the hills above the renowned Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, this tranquil oasis has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by one owner—and is now offered for the very first time. Set on a prime, level corner lot within a peaceful cul-de-sac, this home offers exceptional privacy, refreshing ocean breezes, and effortless access to top-rated schools, beaches, shopping, and the Alga Norte Park & Swim Complex. Step through the custom stone and wood entry blending artistry and architectural charm into an inviting design with vaulted ceilings, crown molding, skylights, and tumbled travertine flooring that exude warmth and timeless elegance. The airy great room flows seamlessly into a culinary-inspired kitchen featuring a grand island with sink, walk-in pantry, custom cabinetry with pull-outs, and generous prep space—ideal for gatherings and everyday living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with a private deck showcasing ocean and golf course views, an oversized dual-head shower, walk-in closet, and refined finishes. Two of the spacious secondary bedrooms, also with walk-in closets, share a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath. Exterior highlights include stone paver entry and driveway, multiple patios, lush landscaping, custom lighting, fountain feature, and two producing avocado trees. A showcase of craftsmanship, comfort, and coastal sophistication—this Rancho La Costa gem is available now for the first time. Rancho La Costa in Carlsbad blends upscale suburban comfort with Southern California’s outdoor lifestyle. Tree-lined streets, large lots, and architecturally varied homes—many with golf course or nature preserve views—give the area a sense of spacious luxury. The neighborhood has excellent schools nearby, parks, trails, and easy access to shopping centers and amenities like the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the Rancho La Costa Preserve, the Switchback and Ridgeline Trails and other open-space areas for hiking and scenic views of the ocean and lagoon. While the vibe is relaxed, privacy is a feature with quiet streets and relatively little hustle compared to coastal San Diego, while still being just a short drive from beaches and the coast.

Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1978, has been lovingly maintained and features significant upgrades that place it firmly in 'Good' condition. The kitchen is a highlight, boasting modern stainless steel appliances, white custom cabinetry with pull-outs, granite countertops, and recessed lighting, making it highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. The main living areas feature well-maintained tumbled travertine flooring, vaulted ceilings, and skylights, contributing to an open and bright feel. While the primary bathroom includes a modern dual-head shower, the built-in tub with its pinkish tile surround and the vanity lighting appear dated. Similarly, the powder room's tiled countertop and wallpaper are also dated. However, these elements are primarily cosmetic and do not detract from the overall functionality or cleanliness of the home. The property is move-in ready, with major systems appearing well-maintained, and the dated bathroom components require only minor cosmetic updates rather than substantial repairs.

Cons

Original Construction Year: Built in 1978, the property's age, despite upgrades, may suggest potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly modernized, which could require future attention.
Potential Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights 'refreshing ocean breezes' but does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort consideration during warmer periods.
Listed Above Estimated Value: The current list price is 10% above the property's estimated market value, potentially indicating an aggressive pricing strategy that could affect market duration or require future price adjustments.
