Location, location, location! Amazing & rare opportunity to purchase a spectacular home close to Carlsbad Village, the sands of multiple beaches, & the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon at this price point! Contractor or handyman special--this home has been updated throughout; however, it needs someone to complete the work & carefully restore this lovely property to its full potential. Whether this becomes your primary home or an investment, this opportunity could offer incredible upside! Potential to add back the rooftop deck & gain an ocean view from above too! Steps from shopping & dining & just a very short drive to the I-5 freeway. Newer roof, AC, furnace, electrical panel, paint, fixtures, kitchen cabinets (currently disassembled), and bathroom finishes. Enter the home through a short flight of steps & be greeted by beautiful, mature drought-tolerant landscaping, DG, & a stone walkway. This single-level home offers lots of light & great flow between the kitchen, living room, dining area, expansive family room, 3 bedrooms, & 2 full bathrooms. The low-maintenance backyard is perfect for those seeking a lock-and-go lifestyle. Lots of usable space for entertaining or converting into your dream outdoor area. The 2-car garage includes EV charging and an abundance of extra storage space. Enjoy mature lemon trees and raised vegetable garden beds on the property too! No HOA or Mello-Roos. This chance to invest some TLC in a top-notch location won't last long!
