Description

Unrivaled craftsmanship of a 2011-built Italian-Mediterranean estate showcasing a 180-degree lagoon and ocean view within one of Carlsbad’s most desired neighborhoods. Designed by Alex Friehauf, this residence blends artisanal craftsmanship with modern sophistication in an open-concept sanctuary where 15-foot pocket doors dissolve boundaries between refined interiors and 1,450 square feet of covered view decks, perfect for hosting with the backdrop of a vibrant Pacific sunset. Floor-to-ceiling 8-foot windows frame endless vistas of Batiquitos Lagoon, La Costa Resort, and distant Catalina and San Clemente Islands, accentuated by custom hardwood doors, tumbled travertine tiles, and bespoke wrought iron railings. First floor primary bedroom and an open floorplan that bathes every room in natural light, with a smooth Santa Barbara finish exuding timeless allure. The chef’s kitchen, an entertainer’s dream, boasts designer appliances, a prep kitchen, butler’s pantry and numerous custom cabinetry improvements. Outside, a solar-heated saltwater pool and spa, multiple entertainment areas that are complimented by drought-friendly landscaping, a thriving fruit orchard (passion fruit, peach, mango, fig, orange, plum, avocado, lemon), a new vegetable garden, and a greenhouse. A Buddha fountain and front waterfall whisper tranquility, while a terraced lot—city-approved for an ADU or potential tennis/sport court—offers additional possibilities. The primary suite indulges with hardwood floors, expansive walk-in closet with custom cabinetry, a soaking tub, newer steam shower and sauna. Recent improvements include a whole-house filtration system, Sonos surround sound, Leutron LED lighting system, custom window shades, three-zone HVAC, tankless water heaters, and solar electric system for unmatched efficiency. CAT6 wiring and a new security system keep you connected and secure. Storage is extraordinary, with a 3.5-car garage, utility “toy” garage, all with epoxy floors and additional under-house storage. The pinnacle of modern luxury. Ready for its next visionary owner to cherish North County’s most iconic views.
