Incredible Ocean View VALUE! Nestled in the heart of Olde Carlsbad, this beautifully remodeled property offers unparalleled ocean views and exceptional craftsmanship. A true gem, the main house boasts 4 spacious bedrooms (with the downstairs bedroom currently being used as a home office) and 3.5 bathrooms, making it perfect for both family living and entertaining. The large, chef-inspired kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, a stunning 10-foot island, and high-end stainless steel appliances. A hidden pantry adds a thoughtful touch with ample storage and a dedicated space for kitchen appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a formal dining area, perfect for hosting dinner parties. Additionally, a full bathroom, laundry room, and a cozy living room with a fireplace, built-in cabinets, and a TV nook complete the downstairs living space, providing both functionality and comfort. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom and the primary suite which is an oasis of tranquility, featuring a spacious walk-in closet, a private deck with breathtaking ocean views, and a spa-like bathroom with a luxurious clawfoot tub and large shower. Above the detached 3-car garage is a fully remodeled 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment. With approximately 742 square feet of living space and an additional 200 square feet of deck, this space is perfect for guests or rental income. The apartment also enjoys the same ocean view as the main house. The 3 car detached garage has new garage doors with side mount openers and a bonus full bathroom. This type of property does not come on the market often See the renderings for just a couple ideas of how to utilize the space if you want to remove the old carriage house. An ADU to create the ultimate multigenerational property or produce income. A pool and outdoor BBQ area could be built to enjoy Carlsbad's world class weather. The property has mature fruit trees including avocado trees to the left of the garage. The three car garage also has a bonus full bathroom, perfect for a home gym set up with sauna and cold plunge? The garage has been finished with epoxy flooring, brand new garage doors with side motor openers and a fresh coat of paint.
