2226 Vista La Nisa, Carlsbad, CA 92009

Extremely rare opportunity to purchase peaceful retreat at the top of La Costa Valley. Situated up a terraced walkway away from the street, with single-story houses on BOTH sides, spacious front and side courtyards, and no neighbors behind, this gorgeous Mediterranean-style home affords a level of serenity and privacy not found in today’s new housing developments. The expansive outside space includes a lush backyard, multiple hardscape areas for entertaining, including an elevated arbor with built-in BBQ and sink, and mature palms. Set on a crest, the property offers stunning views of the Southern California sunsets and “private seats” to the spectacular area fireworks shows. The sellers are the original owners, who purchased this 5-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home as empty-nesters and have maintained the space in like-new condition. The home features a soaring grand entry and adjoining large office/library with custom solid wood built-ins. Additional features include a built-in vacuum system, whole-house water filter, A/C, upgraded intercom system, fully owned solar, and Plantation shutters. The large kitchen has custom painted cabinets, stainless steel appliances, including a new Samsung refrigerator, glass and ceramic tile backsplash, a greenhouse window, a separate Butler’s pantry with wine refrigerator and storage, and views of the many birds and butterflies that frequent the yard year round. Master bath includes jetted tub, frameless shower, dual sinks and separate vanity. The recently added first floor bedroom with full bath is perfect for hosting guests. This incredible home has a 2-car epoxy floor garage and a wide paver driveway, is located close to the La Costa Resort, is in an award-winning school district, and is a walkable distance to The Forum and the Encinitas Ranch Town Center. Residents enjoy access to an Olympic sized pool, children’s swimming pool, jacuzzi, two tennis courts, hiking and biking trails, a fully outfitted exercise facility and an event/party space, complete with a fireplace and full kitchen.
