Spacious 1-Bedroom + Loft Condo in La Costa

Gazing out over the La Costa hills, you marvel at the view from your new Carlsbad home near the La Costa Resort and Spa in South Carlsbad. Whether you are on the spacious balcony (the unit is on the second floor, so there are no neighbors above you), in the large bedroom, or sitting in the living room with cathedral ceiling, the views are mesmerizing and peaceful.

So often the notion of a 1 bedroom condo conjures up an image of being crowded, with limited space to call home. Not so in this airy unit, with its large loft looking out over the double-height living room, a separate dining room, good sized kitchen, and master bedroom with full bath. The loft offers many options - use it as a second bedroom, an office, a play area, TV room, or guest quarters, and you could investigate expansion possibilities as others in the complex have done. There is an in-unit laundry area (washer and dryer are not included).

With only one owner since it was built, this attractive unit has just been remodeled, so you only need to pack your bags and move in.

1. new tile flooring was added to the foyer, hall, bathroom, kitchen and dining room


2. the living room, bedroom, and loft were carpeted


3. the entire home was painted


4. the cabinetry in the kitchen was painted (with new hardware) and a new granite countertop was added, along with new dishwasher and refrigerator [stove is only 2-3 years old], and new stainless sink and faucet


5. the large bath has a new sink and vanity, new mirror and new lighting, new Kohler toilet and new shower doors

Located at the corner of Romeria and La Costa Avenue (but away from La Costa), the complex is intimate, with only 6 units. There is a single car garage (recently painted) as well as a parking space. The HOA is self-managed, with fees of $275 for common area and exterior building maintenance and insurance. There is a shared lockable storage unit as well.

This Carlsbad home is very near the La Costa Resort and Spa (less than 10 minutes) and there are glimpses of the golf course from the balcony. A shopping center is barely 5 minutes away on El Camino Real, which also offers a multitude of shopping opportunities, including the upscale Forum, and restaurants in both Carlsbad and Encinitas. The beautiful Encinitas and Carlsbad beaches are perhaps 15 minutes away, or you can easily enjoy the Batiquitos Lagoon wildlife area (a 10 minute drive).

3002B La Costa Avenue may be THE BEST value in Carlsbad for size and price, plus having a terrific view - compare it to the other one bedroom Carlsbad homes for sale, and you will agree this represents a great opportunity for homeownership in South Carlsbad. Or perhaps you are considering a second home near the beach, or prefer to acquire an investment property.

Attractively priced at $349,000 (UPDATE - price is now $325,000) this home offers approximately 1361 square feet of living and entertaining space, 1 car garage and parking space, locked storage unit, and a terrific La Costa lifestyle near the beach. Check out this great value in La Costa
