About this home

Tucked away on an expansive lot in the heart of Olde Carlsbad, 1644 Tamarack Avenue offers a rare blend of privacy, distinctive architecture, and effortless coastal living. Perched above the street and framed by lush, mature trees, the home enjoys a serene setting just minutes from the beach and the vibrant restaurants, boutiques, cafés, and charm of Carlsbad Village. Inside, striking high wood ceilings create warmth, architectural drama, and an impressive sense of volume. The spacious living room is centered around a beautiful fireplace, with French doors opening to the backyard and creating a seamless connection to outdoor living. Sunlight pours into the kitchen through oversized windows, while a door opens to an intimate patio—perfect for morning coffee. The generous primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with a private balcony and expansive bath creating a peaceful escape. Two additional spacious bedrooms provide wonderful accommodations for family or guests, while a dedicated office nook with a built-in desk and bookshelves adds both function and character. Outside, the lush wraparound backyard is designed for Southern California living, with beautiful spaces for al fresco dining, lounging, entertaining, and evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace. An outdoor shower is ideal for rinsing off sandy feet after the beach, while a two-car garage and space for RV parking add convenience and versatility. Serene and tucked away, yet moments from the coast and Carlsbad Village, this exceptional home captures the very best of Olde Carlsbad living.
