Tucked on a premium corner lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this rarely available estate offers exceptional privacy and a main-level guest suite in the gated enclave of Balereas at La Costa Greens. Set at the end of a coveted single-loaded street and bordered by open space and mature landscaping, the setting feels both serene and secluded, while remaining effortlessly connected to everything that makes North County living so desirable. A winding stone path leads to the courtyard entry. Inside, a grand foyer opens to the formal living room, where large picture windows frame the backyard and a cozy fireplace adds a sense of warmth. Across, the formal dining room opens to the courtyard through French doors—perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining—with a nearby wet bar and built-in wine fridge. Continue to the open-concept kitchen and family room, where a wall of windows fills the space with natural light and another fireplace anchors the space. The expansive kitchen is equipped with granite counters, large island with bar seating, double ovens, a 6-burner gas range, a walk-in pantry, and extended breakfast nook with direct access to the backyard. A private main-level guest suite with its own bath and separate entrance through a set of French doors to the front courtyard makes an ideal in-law retreat—offering comfort, privacy, and flexibility. Nearby, a dedicated home office with French doors opening to the backyard provides a quiet, versatile space for everyday use. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat. A dual-sided fireplace connects the bedroom to a private sitting area, and French doors open to a peaceful balcony. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, mirrored closets, and an additional flexible space—perfect as a second office, nursery, or dressing lounge. Three additional bedrooms complete the second level—one with a private ensuite and two that share a Jack-and-Jill bath. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the backyard is both private and spacious. With a built-in outdoor kitchen, basketball court, firepit, and plenty of room to add a pool, it offers endless potential to create your dream outdoor oasis. Residents of La Costa Greens enjoy exclusive access to The Presidio, a private clubhouse with a resort-style pool, spa, fitness center, and tennis courts. Just minutes from top-rated San Marcos schools, scenic parks and trails, and the world-class golf, dining, and spa experiences at Omni La Costa Resort—with Carlsbad’s beaches and Village less than five miles away—this home blends calm, comfort, and connection in the heart of coastal North County.
