Situated on an elevated 15,040 sq ft lot within the prestigious gated enclave of La Costa Ridge, this designer-reimagined 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom residence delivers a rare trifecta: breathtaking sunrise and sunset vistas, peekaboo ocean views, and a level of finish that simply cannot be replicated at this price point.

Spanning 5,039 square feet of thoughtfully transformed living space, the home was extensively renovated in 2024 with a keen eye for both beauty and wellness. The stunning chef's kitchen is anchored by Thermador appliances, quartz countertops, a statement 48" stainless steel sink, and curated Pottery Barn lighting. Beverly Hills Addition 10.5" wide-plank white oak hardwood flooring flows seamlessly throughout, while a dramatic 100" linear fireplace with custom stone surround and built-ins commands the main living space — setting an unmistakable tone of refined luxury. Every bedroom offers an en-suite bath, including a primary suite that functions as a private sanctuary, complete with a custom California Closet, spa-inspired upgrades, and quartz countertops. A dedicated home office with its own private entrance and a downstairs guest bedroom with separate entry provide versatile flexibility for multigenerational living or working from home in style. Wellness was a guiding principle throughout as seen in their use of zero VOC materials home-wide. Smart-home efficiency is maximized with owned solar, pool solar heating, and a new Pentair smart system. Step outside to your private saltwater pool oasis, complete with a removable safety gate, all framed by sweeping views and the natural serenity of one of Carlsbad's most sought-after communities. Truly turnkey and move-in ready. This is La Costa Ridge living at its finest.
