About this home

Exceptional value in La Costa Ridge! Located within one of Carlsbad’s premier gated communities, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 4,053 square feet and an outstanding opportunity to update and personalize a substantial home in a truly special setting. Priced significantly below recent model-match sales in the community, the value is immediately apparent. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on a 10,440-square-foot lot, the property backs directly to the 1,640-acre Rancho La Costa Preserve, offering privacy, peaceful open-space and hillside views, cool coastal breezes, and no homes directly behind.

Remarks provided by the listing agent through SDMLS.
