Character, flexibility and effortless single-level living come together at this Spanish-inspired retreat in Carlsbad s intimate New Crest Court enclave. Behind a tile roof and graceful arches, a private courtyard sets the tone, leading to approximately 3,113 square feet of living space with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths on a generous 10,078-square-foot lot. The detached casita, with its own dedicated air conditioning, is ready to become whatever you need: a guest suite for visiting family, a quiet home office or a creative studio set apart from the main house. Engineered wood floors and nine-foot ceilings draw you into the showpiece great room, where 16-foot ceilings, a fireplace and built-in shelving create a space that feels both grand and inviting. The open kitchen anchors it all, with a large seated island, quartz and granite counters and rich cabinetry that keep the cook in the conversation. Light streams through oversized windows, and folding glass doors open wide to a covered patio, made for Southern California evenings outdoors. Retreat to the spacious primary suite with a generous bath and walk-in closet. Thoughtful upgrades include new carpet (2026), insulated interior walls, dual AC units and a three-car tandem garage. A rare blend of architectural charm and everyday ease, just minutes from Carlsbad s beaches, shopping and dining.
