3311 James, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Description

In Olde Carlsbad, where coastal ease meets established character, this expansive residence offers a rare balance of scale, flexibility, and privacy—just 1.5 miles from the shoreline and moments from the energy of the Village. Designed with multigenerational living in mind, the layout unfolds with intention. Five bedrooms and 3.5 baths are complemented by a dedicated office and two oversized bonus rooms, creating a framework that adapts as life evolves. One of these bonus spaces features its own private entrance—ideal for a studio, guest quarters, or independent living. On the main level, a private suite anchors the home with a full bedroom, den, and bath. Adjacent, a generous bonus room presents a natural opportunity for an ADU or refined in-law retreat, offering both separation and connection. At the heart of the home, the kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, where a fireplace and breakfast nook invite a more relaxed rhythm of living. A separate formal dining room provides a distinct setting for curated gatherings and evening rituals. Outdoors, a secluded backyard reveals a resort-like atmosphere. A pool and spa are framed by mature landscaping, creating a setting designed for long afternoons, intimate evenings, and entertaining. Owned solar adds a forward-thinking layer of efficiency, aligning comfort with long-term sustainability. Positioned near Carlsbad High and within close reach of the Village’s dining and boutiques, this is a residence that prioritizes both lifestyle and longevity—an opportunity to inhabit space with purpose and proximity. Upstairs, each bedroom is complemented by its own loft—creating layered, flexible living within every space—while new carpet introduces a fresh, tailored finish throughout. The garage is elevated with epoxy flooring and built-in cabinetry.
