Lovely single story home on the bluff above the lagoon. Huge lot that has an upper level for outdoor entertaining. Master bedroom looks directly out to lagoon. Rooms are large. Kitchen is fairly original but clean.

Local insights from Redfin agents
Carlsbad combines beautiful beaches with great neighborhoods that give it a real small-town feel. From the Village to the walkable neighborhoods, it feels like a beach community rather than a city!
