Live across the street from the beach! Welcome to the gated coastal enclave of Poinsettia Cove. Ideally situated in South Carlsbad, homes in this neighborhood rarely come on the market. This immaculate 2,366 square foot home is light, bright and well suited for the casual beach lifestyle. The first floor, featuring hardwood floors, plantation shutters and crown molding throughout, flows from living room to updated kitchen to cozy family room. The second floor features the primary bedroom with a remodeled en-suite bathroom and large walk in closet. A full bath along with three additional bedrooms allow for family flexibility, a home office, a hobby room or an exercise room. The spacious laundry room is conveniently located upstairs. The home backs up to a parklike greenbelt featuring pickleball, basketball, volleyball, bocce ball and a tot lot. Located near the south end of the community the pedestrian gates are just steps away. Grab a quick surf or take a dip in the ocean. Stroll along the bluff in the campground. Enjoy live music and delicious pizza while watching the sunset with friends and neighbors at The Camp Store. Sip a glass of wine at Chandler's. Hop on the Coaster at Poinsettia Station for dinner in Little Italy or catch a Padres Game at Petco Park. The restaurants and shops of Encinitas to the south and Carlsbad Village to the north can also be accessed by train or a short drive along the scenic 101. Add to all this award winning schools, nearby world class golf and quick freeway access and this coastal gem is one not to miss.
