About this home
Enjoy the best of Carlsbad living at this beautifully updated and exceptionally well-maintained Calavera Hills residence, complete with a private backyard oasis featuring a pebble-finish pool and spa—perfect for cooling off, relaxing, and entertaining throughout the year. Inside, the home combines thoughtful upgrades with an inviting, sophisticated design. Rich hardwood flooring extends throughout the living spaces, complemented by travertine tile in the bathrooms and laundry room. The remodeled kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a generous center island, granite countertops, travertine backsplash, upgraded sink and fixtures, and newer double ovens, cooktop, and microwave. The bathrooms have been refreshed with stylish finishes, updated fixtures, travertine shower surrounds, and newer toilets. Dramatic 20-foot ceiling creates an impressive sense of scale in the dining and sitting rooms, where a striking chandelier adds an elegant focal point. Plantation shutters and remote-controlled window shades provide convenient control over natural light and privacy. A newer HVAC system provides efficient year-round comfort, while pool controls and passive solar heating make extending pool season simple and enjoyable. The oversized three-car garage offers exceptional flexibility beyond vehicle storage, with the third bay perfectly suited for a home gym, creative studio, workshop, office, or hobby space. Ideally situated in the desirable Calavera Hills community, this home is close to scenic hiking trails leading toward Calavera Lake, convenient freeway connections, shopping, Carlsbad Village, and the area's beautiful beaches. A turnkey home with resort-style outdoor living, substantial upgrades, and a location that captures the best of Carlsbad.
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.
