About This Property
Light, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, this exceptional La Costa townhome offers the best of Southern California living—with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, flexible living spaces, and room to enjoy the outdoors. The open-concept main level is the heart of the home, featuring soaring ceilings, a designer kitchen with custom cabinetry, generous storage, and a large center island that makes everyday living and entertaining effortless. The kitchen opens to the inviting living and dining areas, which flow seamlessly onto a spacious balcony—perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or enjoying the coastal breeze. The lower level offers a peaceful retreat with the primary suite and second bedroom and bath, each opening directly to a covered patio and larger outdoor space. With two distinct outdoor areas, there are plenty of opportunities to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the beautiful Southern California weather. Upstairs, you'll find a full bath and an expansive third-level flex space with its own closet and sunroom area. This space can be configured as a large third bedroom, a second family room, home office, creative studio, playroom, guest space, or private retreat. Thoughtful updates and conveniences include newer interior paint and light fixtures, remodeled bathrooms, central A/C, full-size washer and dryer, a 2-car attached garage, an additional assigned parking space, and abundant guest parking. The HOA includes water, trash, and access to the community pool just steps away (renovated in 2026). Recent community improvements also include an updated roof, and the HOA maintains common area landscaping, pest control, and other exterior maintenance—allowing you to enjoy the home without the upkeep of a single-family property. Ideally situated in La Costa, the home is within walking distance of La Costa Meadows Elementary and just a short drive from shopping, dining, parks, golf, and some of North County’s beautiful beaches. Whether you're looking for a comfortable primary residence, a flexible home for a growing family, or a place to enjoy the coastal lifestyle, this townhome offers space, convenience, and versatility in one of Carlsbad's desirable communities.
