About this home
NOW SHOWING IN CALAVERA HILLS! Beautifully updated and truly move-in ready, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Carlsbad home offers approximately 2,017 square feet of stylish living on a desirable corner lot near the neighborhood park. A highly sought-after first-floor bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom provides an ideal arrangement for guests, multigenerational living or a private home office. Additional standout features include fully owned solar and a private Trex balcony off the primary suite, where French doors open to beautiful mountain and hillside views. Inside, rich hand-scraped hickory hardwood flooring extends throughout the home and staircase. Plantation shutters, crown molding, six-inch baseboards, designer lighting and thoughtfully selected finishes create a warm, model-home feel. The remodeled kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, a glass tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. The inviting family room is centered around a fireplace with a custom mantel and built-in cabinetry, while the renovated bathrooms showcase quartz countertops, designer tile and frameless glass shower doors. Outside, the fully fenced, low-maintenance yard features turf and flagstone accents, creating an inviting space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation. Air conditioning, fresh interior paint, an upgraded laundry room and a finished garage add even more value. Ideally located near Calavera Lake, scenic trails, neighborhood parks and Carlsbad schools.
Calavera Hills, located between Lake Calavera and the Agua Hedionda Lagoon, is a hillside and trail-laced Carlsbad neighborhood with volcanic open space and canyon views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Calavera Trailhead off Tamarack Avenue, where hikers, dog-walkers, and mountain bikes set the daily rhythm. Homes lean toward late-20th-century stucco and tile-roof designs on curving streets that follow the terrain. Calavera Nature Preserve frames mornings with loop trails and basalt outcrops. For a local night out, Pizza Port Carlsbad anchors the craft-beer-and-slices tradition. The Carlsbad Village Theatre and the Carlsbad Farmers Market add a cultural, small-batch counterpoint nearby.
