Perched atop one of Oceanside's highest residential streets, this beautifully upgraded single-story home captures refreshing coastal breezes, peek-a-boo Pacific Ocean views, and the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle Southern California is known for—all within the highly sought-after Carlsbad Unified School District. Thoughtfully redesigned and meticulously maintained, this is a home where every improvement has been made with quality, comfort, and everyday living in mind. The heart of the home is the beautifully reimagined open-concept living space, where the wall between the kitchen and living room has been removed to create seamless sight lines and effortless flow for entertaining. Anchoring the space is a stunning oversized island with quartz waterfall countertops, custom cabinetry, a dedicated coffee bar, recessed lighting, and abundant prep and gathering space. Wide-plank flooring and an abundance of natural light enhance the home's bright, airy coastal feel. The spacious primary suite serves as a true retreat with an expanded ensuite bathroom featuring a luxurious rainfall shower and designer finishes. Step outside and experience the lifestyle this property was designed for. An expansive view deck offers the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or weekend gatherings while taking in the elevated outlook. The terraced backyard provides multiple usable spaces, including a lower level ideal for lawn games, a play area, gardening, or simply relaxing beneath the trees. A finished detached flex space offers endless possibilities as a home office, creative studio, playroom, or hobby retreat, while an additional storage shed adds valuable functionality. A finished bonus room within the garage provides even more versatile space for today's evolving lifestyle (buyer to verify permits and approved use). Extensive recent improvements include owned solar for exceptionally low electric bills, a new electrical panel (2026), central air conditioning and ducting (2023), new water heater (2025), remodeled bathrooms, new gutters, custom blinds, updated electrical, exterior paint, front fencing, fresh landscaping and irrigation, an outdoor BBQ area, and countless additional thoughtful upgrades. Every detail has been carefully considered so the next owner can simply move in and enjoy. Perfectly positioned just minutes from Lake Calavera Preserve, Calavera Hills Community Park, shopping, dining, and convenient access to both Highway 78 and Interstate 5, you'll also enjoy being approximately five miles from the beach and just ten minutes from the boutiques, breweries, and Michelin-recognized restaurants of Carlsbad Village. This exceptional home offers the perfect balance of modern comfort, coastal charm, and one of North County's most convenient locations.
