Designed to stand apart, this beautifully reimagined residence delivers a magazine-featured level of quality through refined craftsmanship and thoughtful upgrades. Carefully curated material selections and custom upgrades define the interiors, where hardwood flooring, tile, brick accents, wood details, built-ins, and custom cabinetry add depth and character throughout. The welcoming open floor plan creates a natural flow between spaces, featuring a warm and inviting family room, two absolutely charming dining areas, and an expansive kitchen that overlooks the living room and surrounding outdoor views. At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen redesigned with timeless finishes and open shelving, earning national recognition when it was featured in This Old House magazine for its bright and beautifully executed transformation. A fully remodeled first-floor bathroom adds everyday convenience, and the upstairs offers a spacious loft area, three additional secondary bedrooms, plus a private bonus retreat (currently used as an office) within the primary bedroom suite. Set on an elevated lot with mountain views extending toward Camp Pendleton on a clear day, the exterior showcases indoor-outdoor living done right, with French doors opening to a private courtyard that flow into the backyard, a built-in gas fire pit and BBQ, pergola dining area, tranquil fountain, lush landscaping with hydrangeas and white roses, integrated outdoor speakers, and multiple seating areas. An epoxy-finished three-car tandem garage with generous storage and a 2025 tankless water heater complete a home designed to impress at every level. Situated in the desirable Old Creek Ranch neighborhood on the border of San Marcos and Carlsbad, enjoy a prime location just minutes from San Elijo Hills and La Costa's vibrant town squares, offering convenient access to local parks, popular rated schools, shopping, dining, coastal routes, and the everyday amenities that make this tranquil community so sought after.
