Beautifully refreshed kitchen in this Aviara townhome! If you saw this bright 3-bed, 2-bath Carlsbad home in the Sanderling community before, it’s worth a second look. Newly painted white cabinetry has completely transformed the kitchen into an open, airy space that feels brand new. Natural light fills the home all day, and a cozy fireplace anchors the family room. All three bedrooms are upstairs, along with a flexible loft for an office, playroom, or reading nook. With a privacy wall and no one behind you, it’s remarkably quiet. In five years, the sellers say they’ve never heard a sound through the walls. What you will hear: finches, warblers, and towhees by day, and the occasional great horned owl at night. Step outside and the Aviara lifestyle is right there. The San Elijo Lagoon trailhead is a quarter-mile walk, with two miles of trails for hiking and bird-watching. Dove Library, Vons, La Costa Coffee, and local restaurants are all within walking distance, and Carlsbad Unified schools are close by. Enjoy community pools, spas, and beach volleyball courts, plus Aviara Community perks at nearby golf, gym, and dining. EV charging, low-water landscaping, an attached garage, and no Mello-Roos round it out. Welcome home.
