Fully remodeled in 2026, this spacious Cantamar home offers the size, flexibility, and outdoor space that are increasingly difficult to find in coastal Carlsbad. The flexible floor plan features 6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and 3,703 square feet, with multiple living areas, two first-floor bedrooms—including one with an en-suite bath—and an expansive primary suite. Set on a private 0.29-acre lot, one of the largest in the community, the property combines a fresh, modern interior with an exceptionally large backyard and peek-a-boo ocean views from the upper level. The first floor offers a bright, open layout with light-toned wide-plank flooring, abundant recessed lighting, and excellent natural light. A separate living room provides additional space, while the family room with a fireplace opens directly to the kitchen and dining area. The completely redesigned kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, a full-height tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop, double ovens, and a large waterfall-edge island with contrasting wood cabinetry and seating for four. Glass-front cabinets, open display shelving, integrated accent lighting, and continuous toe-kick lighting beneath the cabinetry give the kitchen a distinctive custom finish. Two bedrooms are located downstairs, including one with a remodeled en-suite bathroom featuring a frameless glass shower, floor-to-ceiling tile, and an illuminated niche. The second bedroom provides flexible space for guests or a home office, and a separate powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, a large central loft with an extensive bank of built-in cabinetry provides an additional living area with excellent storage. The expansive primary suite offers room for a sitting area and peek-a-boo ocean views. A hallway between the bedroom and bathroom features additional built-in cabinetry and leads to a huge walk-in closet. The remodeled primary bathroom includes a long dual-sink vanity, extensive storage, a dedicated getting-ready area, a freestanding soaking tub, and an oversized glass-enclosed wet room with rainfall showerhead, handheld fixtures, and illuminated niches. Three additional bedrooms are located upstairs, including two with direct access to a shared balcony offering additional peek-a-boo ocean views. A remodeled hall bathroom features dual sinks and a tiled tub-and-shower combination, while the separate laundry room includes a utility sink, countertop workspace, and abundant cabinetry. Outside, the scale and privacy of the backyard set this property apart. The home’s positioning, generous separation from neighboring properties, mature landscaping, and surrounding fencing create a secluded setting. The expansive rear patio and broad lawn provide multiple areas for outdoor dining, relaxing, play, and recreation, with ample room to add a large pool while still retaining substantial yard space. A separate side patio directly off the dining room creates an additional private outdoor sitting area. Located in Cantamar, a small community of approximately 96 homes, the property enjoys a peaceful residential setting with convenient access to everything that makes coastal Carlsbad such a desirable place to live. The home is within the highly regarded Carlsbad Unified School District, with Aviara Oaks Elementary and Middle schools approximately one mile away and high school options that include Carlsbad High and Sage Creek High. Nearby Poinsettia Community Park offers 42 acres of athletic fields, playgrounds, tennis and pickleball courts, and picnic areas, while South Carlsbad State Beach and the Ponto beaches are only a few miles from home. Batiquitos Lagoon, Aviara Golf Club, shopping, dining, LEGOLAND, and I-5 are also within easy reach.
