A rare half-acre setting and resort-quality backyard set the stage for this exceptional La Costa Oaks residence. From the moment you arrive down a quiet, tree-lined street, the property reads as a private estate — nearly 0.5 acres of thoughtfully landscaped grounds culminating in a redesigned pool with Baja shelf and swim-up bar, elevated spa with waterfall, new pool plaster and upgraded equipment. Lush turf, mature fruit trees (plum, peach, fig, lemon, guava, avocado), a fire pit and layered exterior lighting create an outdoors experience that rivals the best local resorts.
Inside, the home’s 4,337 square feet are arranged for modern family life and entertaining. A grand entry flows to formal living and dining rooms while the executive office — finished with beadboard paneling — can serve as a guest suite. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home: a large center island topped in quartzite with matching backsplash, updated cabinetry, and a suite of premium appliances including a Dacor refrigerator and six-burner gas cooktop, plus beverage and wine refrigeration. Practical luxury continues in a butler’s pantry, walk-in pantry and a dedicated wine closet. Two gas fireplaces anchor the family and living rooms for cozy gatherings.
Upstairs, the primary wing reads like a private retreat with a covered deck overlooking the pool and yard, a spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower and dual vanities, plus a large walk-in closet with built-ins. Three additional bedrooms each have an en-suite full bath and there’s a generous bonus room perfect for media, study or play. Recent capital improvements over the last four years include a new roof, owned solar system, whole-house LED lighting and updated interior fixtures — all installed to reduce near-term maintenance and operating costs.
Practical conveniences round out the offering: a finished four-car garage with new epoxy flooring, custom cabinetry and EV charging; new fencing and exterior lighting; upgraded security system. Residents enjoy quick access to La Costa Town Square, nearby golf and recreation, and La Costa Oaks’ clubhouses, pools and fitness facilities. This property offers an unusual combination of turnkey luxury, usable land and community amenities in one of Carlsbad’s most coveted neighborhoods.
