About this home
Welcome to 2645 Highland, an exceptional Carlsbad estate offering a rare combination of a stunning main residence, a detached guest house, and a junior ADU, all privately set on a flag lot exceeding 17,000 sq ft on one of Carlsbad’s most desirable streets. Surrounded by mature landscaping that feels like a lush jungle retreat, this property delivers privacy, space, and versatility just minutes from the coast. The main home features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths across two thoughtfully designed levels. Upon entry, the dramatic great room immediately impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and real wood floors throughout. This space is truly made for entertaining, seamlessly accommodating large gatherings while still feeling warm and inviting. The wood-clad ceilings—painted crisp white—add architectural character and amplify the home’s open, airy scale. A whole-house Sonos system enhances both everyday living and entertaining. Anchoring the home is an oversized chef’s kitchen that is a true showpiece, complete with stainless steel appliances, a built-in refrigerator, 6-burner Viking cooktop, and Monogram oven—ideal for hosting, cooking, and everyday living alike. Multiple access points from the living room, dining room, and primary bedroom lead to an expansive rear deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. From here, enjoy ocean views, coastal breezes, and unforgettable sunsets—perfect for dining al fresco or relaxing in your private sanctuary. The primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor, featuring a spa-like en suite bath with an oversized walk-in shower and a massive walk-in closet. Also on the main level are a built-in office, a dedicated laundry room, and smartly planned spaces that support both daily living and entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and an additional full bathroom, with two bedrooms capturing breathtaking 180-degree ocean views that stretch across the coastline, offering flexibility for family, guests, or creative spaces—each elevated by a truly stunning backdrop. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive and designed for enjoyment. The grounds include an outdoor shower, a private putting green, and beautifully layered landscaping that creates a true resort-like feel. Paid solar adds efficiency, while a Tesla charger in the garage supports modern coastal living. Adding tremendous value and flexibility, the property includes a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house, fully remodeled through 2024–2025, featuring a walk-in closet and its own laundry hookups. Additionally, there is a junior ADU studio, offering flexible use for multigenerational living or guests. A two-car attached garage completes this exceptional offering. Located in a highly sought-after Carlsbad neighborhood known for its peaceful streets, strong sense of community, and excellent schools, 2645 Highland is a rare coastal compound that blends privacy, luxury, and lifestyle in one extraordinary setting....
