About this single-family home
Step back in time and into the romance of Old Mexico and early California with this 98- year-old colonial Spanish bungalow, gracefully set on nearly a quarter- acre, this rare retreat offers both space as well as seclusion, in the highly sought-after Carlsbad Village. Behind the gated entrance, a welcoming courtyard evokes the charm of a mini hacienda- a serene space for morning coffee, intimate gatherings, or simply basking in the coastal breeze. This distinctive, light-filled retreat offers an airy open floor plan with an abundance of fresh air and ocean breezes. This home's timeless architecture blends warmth and history, offering authentic character rarely found today. A unique and beautiful feature is a hidden speakeasy-style cellar adds a whisper of whimsey and character, ideal for wine, storage or creative flex space. The lush grounds are a true gardener's and gourmet's dream, boasting 6 varieties of avocado trees along with lemon, orange, tangerine, loquat, pomegranate and olive trees. Whether you envision preserving its vintage soul or enhancing it with modern touches, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Carlsbad's living history, all within strolling distance of the village's lively cafe's, boutiques, coaster, and the beautiful beaches. Must see this hidden gem to fully appreciate.
