Nestled behind the quiet gates of Bella Lago, this stunning former model home embodies effortless California coastal living where style meets comfort. Set at the end of a peaceful cul de sac, this two story home lives like a one story, with all main living spaces on the entry level. Inside, the open floor plan welcomes you with high ceilings, walls of windows, and Richard Marshall hardwood floors that fill the home with warmth and natural light. An elegant curved wrought iron staircase leads to a circular loft and private retreat, adding architectural beauty and character.

The chef’s kitchen blends a cool California vibe with restaurant inspired design. Outfitted with Viking appliances, quartz countertops, open shelving, and a spacious island, the space feels both elevated and inviting. It flows effortlessly into the family room with beamed ceilings and a cozy fireplace, making it perfect for cooking, gathering, and entertaining.

Upstairs, a private retreat offers a sitting area and wine closet, plus a hidden loft behind a bookcase with a spiral staircase leading down to the primary suite, an unexpected architectural touch and the perfect bonus space for work or relaxation. The primary suite itself offers direct patio access and a serene, private escape.

The outdoors is truly a retreat, private, lush, and designed for living well. Enjoy lazy afternoons by the sparkling pool, unwind in the spa beneath the stars, or gather around the fireplace for cozy evenings with friends. With cascading waterfalls, a built in BBQ, and a putting green, every inch of this backyard was made for relaxation, entertaining, and savoring the Southern California lifestyle. The home is beautifully sited on the lot, surrounded by gardens on all sides, offering both beauty and privacy in every view.

Just beyond the gates, enjoy Batiquitos Lagoon walking trails, and within minutes, reach Carlsbad’s beaches, golf courses, shops, and dining. With top rated schools and easy freeway access, this home defines coastal California living.
