Imagine a place where nature abounds, where birds sing their magical tunes and the trees whisper with the swaying of their branches in the ocean breeze. This is where you find yourself in this storybook cottage on Highland Drive in Olde Carlsbad, nestled on nearly one acre with RV parking. From the moment you arrive at the pull-through driveway, you will know you are in a special place. The foyer greets you with its distressed wood floors that span the entire home, welcoming you into a spacious living room with beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, featuring a raised hearth and brick surround, complemented by a wall of windows overlooking the lush backyard. The kitchen boasts an oversized island, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a double oven, and a window that offers a stunning view of the ocean. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area flows seamlessly onto the deck through French doors, opening up to a sprawling yard. The primary bedroom, with its dramatic cathedral ceiling that rises to a peak, a walk-in closet, and a serene primary bath with a spacious shower and soaking tub, offers a luxurious retreat. A secondary bedroom and bath complete the main home. The charm extends to a detached cottage, which serves as an oversized third bedroom with beamed ceilings, a bathroom with a shower-tub combo, and a deck that provides a private retreat to relax and enjoy the garden and lower yard. Outdoors, you will find lush, mature landscaping, multiple decks, and patios perfect for outdoor enjoyment, alongside a whimsical landscape that makes you feel as if you are in another world. . This extraordinary home sits on one of the most desired streets in Olde Carlsbad, close to the downtown area, shopping, beaches, restaurants and schools.
