Tucked behind the gates of Isla Mar, one of Aviara's most sought-after private enclaves, this beautifully maintained single-story presents an exceptional opportunity in a community where homes seldom come to market. Known for its intimate neighborhood setting, quiet streets, and beautifully kept surroundings, Isla Mar offers a level of privacy and distinction that is increasingly difficult to find. From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and an inviting sense of space set the tone. A sunken living room with fireplace makes a memorable first impression, while the adjacent dining room opens through French doors to a separate sitting area, creating a lovely connection to the outdoors and welcoming coastal breezes. The kitchen offers generous cabinetry, a center island with gas cooktop, and an easy connection to the family room, where a second fireplace creates a warm and inviting gathering space. The spacious primary suite offers a retreat of its own, with direct access to the backyard, a generous ensuite featuring separate tub and shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom, while a separate office offers the flexibility to serve as a fourth bedroom. Abundant storage, a dedicated laundry room, and direct access to the three-car garage add everyday convenience. Meticulously maintained, the home has been thoughtfully improved over the past five years, with enhancements including tile flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, updated baseboards and door hardware, refreshed lighting and ceiling fans, a remodeled secondary bathroom with updated countertops and shower, new toilets throughout, bedroom window coverings, a gas cooktop, and a solar tube bringing additional natural light to the hallway. Additional features include a whole-house fan, rain gutters, and overhead garage storage. And then there's the backyard. Beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private, with no direct rear neighbors, this expansive outdoor setting is something truly special. Mature trees and lush landscaping create a beautiful sense of seclusion, while a dreamy gazebo provides the perfect setting for morning coffee accompanied by birdsong and the peaceful sounds of the garden. A built-in BBQ with gas line, gas fire pit, and spa make the space equally inviting for leisurely afternoons and evenings spent entertaining under the stars. It's the kind of outdoor setting that makes staying home feel like a luxury in itself. Beyond the gates, Isla Mar offers a quiet, welcoming neighborhood with easy access to the natural beauty of Batiquitos Lagoon. Miles of scenic trails invite morning walks, fresh air, and an easy connection to the surrounding open space. The location also places you just minutes from Carlsbad's beautiful beaches, coastal dining, shopping, and convenient access to Interstate 5. Enjoy the best of coastal North County living, with the privacy of a gated community and the natural beauty of the lagoon just beyond your neighborhood. An exceptional home in a truly special setting, all within the highly rated Carlsbad Unified School district.
