Perched high above the surrounding homes in coveted Henie Hills, this beautifully updated residence captures sweeping panoramic hillside views, exceptional privacy & an elevated sense of serenity. Set on an expansive lot with a large backyard & no through traffic, the home enjoys a uniquely private setting while remaining just minutes from Carlsbad Village, Downtown Oceanside & coastal amenities. Soaring ceilings & abundant natural light welcome you inside, where expansive windows throughout the main living areas showcase the stunning views from the moment you enter. A dramatic formal living room with vaulted ceilings & its own fireplace creates an elegant first impression, while the thoughtfully remodeled chef’s kitchen — completed in 2021 — features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, designer finishes & an impressive 8-burner Kucht range. Just beyond, a cozy den with fireplace & wet bar offers warmth, character & an inviting secondary living space with seamless indoor-outdoor connection to the backyard. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is thoughtfully situated for privacy and overlooks the backyard & panoramic views beyond. The suite features multiple closets, including a gorgeous custom walk-in closet with built-ins, and a private retreat with wet bar — perfect as a lounge, office, nursery or serene escape. Additional upgrades include quartz bathroom countertops, fresh interior paint, brand new LVP flooring & carpet and a 5.2kW owned solar system installed by Solar Optimum in 2020 with transferable grandfathered SDG&E NEM 2.0 status through 2040 — a major long-term value advantage over current solar programs. The home also features a charming enclosed side yard off the dining room with mature fruit trees — ideal for pets, gardening or a peaceful outdoor escape. Nestled within one of Oceanside’s most charming & peaceful neighborhoods, residents enjoy quiet walkable streets, nearby ocean-view vantage points & a truly special sense of community.
