5149 El Arbol Drive

Live the ultimate coastal lifestyle just two blocks from the beach in the sought-after Terramar Beach community, where private beach access ensures exclusive seaside enjoyment. Nestled behind a lush screen of mature trees, this charming single-story ranch home sits on an expansive 10,000 sq. ft. lot, offering a private front yard, a long driveway, and a secluded interior courtyard. Inside, exposed wooden beams and natural wood detailing bring warmth and character to every space. The formal living room with a fireplace, dining room, and thoughtfully preserved 1950s mid-century modern kitchen set the stage for a cozy and inviting atmosphere. A family room, nook, and back kitchen provide ample flexibility, while three large bedrooms (one with the potential to be split into two) and two bathrooms ensure comfort and convenience. Additional storage areas and a two-car garage complete the layout. The sprawling backyard features a long patio for entertaining and leisure, a spacious grassy space, and four terraces--ideal for a variety of gardens. A detached artist studio offers the perfect creative retreat or potential workspace. Whether you envision this home as a beachside getaway, a lucrative rental property, or a blank canvas for expansion with an ADU, the possibilities are endless. Beyond the property, enjoy easy access to top beaches, the 101 bike path, and the Carlsbad Tide Pools. Just minutes from Carlsbad Village, The Crossings Golf Club, Legoland, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, Carlsbad Premium Outlets, and a variety of dining and entertainment options. With Palomar Airport nearby, travel is effortless. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a prime coastal property with private beach access in one of Carlsbad's most cherished neighborhoods!
