Exceptional value in La Costa Ridge! Located within one of Carlsbad’s premier gated communities, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 4,053 square feet and an outstanding opportunity to update and personalize a substantial home in a truly special setting. Priced significantly below recent model-match sales in the community, the value is immediately apparent. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac on a 10,440-square-foot lot, the property backs directly to the 1,640-acre Rancho La Costa Preserve, offering privacy, peaceful open-space and hillside views, cool coastal breezes, and no homes directly behind.
Inside, the expansive floor plan offers an impressive amount of space and flexibility, with separate living, dining, and family rooms, plus a large central courtyard that brings additional outdoor living into the heart of the home. The formal living room features a fireplace and opens to the courtyard, while the spacious family room connects directly to the kitchen and overlooks the backyard and preserve. The large kitchen features abundant cabinetry and counter space, an oversized center island, breakfast area, walk-in pantry, and additional storage. Also downstairs is a private bedroom with an adjacent full bath and an exceptionally large laundry room with cabinetry, counter space and sink.
Upstairs, the huge loft provides nearly 530 square feet of additional living space with plenty of flexibility for a game room, media room, home office or potential fifth bedroom. The expansive primary suite measures approximately 23' x 22' and includes a private covered balcony overlooking the preserve and surrounding hills. The primary bath offers dual vanities, a dedicated getting-ready area, a soaking tub, a separate walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Two additional generously sized bedrooms and a shared full bath complete the upper level.
The backyard is one of the home’s biggest highlights, with a large lawn, mature landscaping and covered patio overlooking the Rancho La Costa Preserve. Its east-facing orientation captures beautiful morning light while the protected open space beyond the property creates a peaceful natural backdrop and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in coastal North County.
La Costa Ridge is a private gated community set along one of Carlsbad’s highest ridgelines and surrounded by hundreds of acres of preserved open space. Residents enjoy access to the East Ridgeline Trail for hiking and biking, plus convenient access to nearby shopping and dining, golf, North County beaches, McClellan-Palomar Airport, and major commuter routes. For a buyer willing to make some updates, this is a rare opportunity to create exactly what they want while securing the size, lot, privacy and location that cannot be easily replicated.

I felt important and felt my elderly father was treated with empathy and kindness when working with Glen. Glen knows how to sell your house, he will competitively negotiate the best price to get you more than you expected. I am so grateful that I found Glen, after our initial consultation I was sold on going with him. I have a few Real Estate agent friends in this competitive market in San Diego. I spoke with each of them and still chose Glen. My friends are definitely impressed. Go with Glen Henderson he will get you top dollar for your property, he will be available for you while you navigate through the process of selling. And he’s quick, I told him I wanted my home sold in December — the buyers put their deposit down 12/23. This guy is amazing!
When I decided to sell my home I realized that there are a number of things that a realtor likes for you to have done before you call them. I had a ton of things but I still called. I looked around for qualifications and interviewed several brokers and was very encouraged by what I found in Glen Henderson from Homelite.. Glen took all the issues, good and bad, and quickly came up with a strategy to handle the sale of my beloved estate home.. With very little effort on my part he put the plan into action and within several short days the house was listed and drawing unsurpassed interest from a great number of potential buyers. within two or three days we got through literally dozens of showings. Glen and his team made sure the house showed well and was presented in its best light. Before the week was out , he masterfully secured a solid offer for me ! From then on Glen and his team stayed in touch to explain each step, deciphering forms and requirements with ease. No snags, no frustrations and no worries. Let Glen handle your Real Estate needs and see what it's like to work with the broker that brought in my transaction in time and exceeded my asking price and expectations.
