You will not want to miss this rare opportunity to own a custom-built 4-bedroom 2-bath home exuding storybook charm on a stunning, oversized lot—just minutes from the coast. Originally designed as a custom residence, this light-filled home offers a unique character throughout, from its one-of-a-kind curb appeal and welcoming covered portico to its raised foundation and original hardwood floors. If you like a mid-century feel and enjoy custom details--this one is for you! The expansive South-facing backyard is a true showstopper, filled with mature, fruit-bearing trees and endless potential. Whether you dream of adding a pool, ADU, or expanding the existing footprint, there's plenty of space to create your vision—without sacrificing outdoor living. Unlike flipped homes, this property retains its authentic charm and is perfect for those seeking a home with character and a lush, vibrant yard. Ideally located just 1.5 miles to the beach and close to all that matters—including highly rated schools like Magnolia Elementary, Valley Middle, Carlsbad High, and Sage Creek High. Enjoy the best of coastal living with easy access to Carlsbad Village, shopping, dining, and more.
