About this home

Welcome to 1801 Ratcliff Road, a beautifully reimagined Olde Carlsbad home where thoughtful design, extensive upgrades, and exceptional outdoor space come together just minutes from Carlsbad Village, our beautiful beaches, and our amazing Carlsbad schools. This home was extensively remodeled in 2021, and since then the home has continued to evolve under the current owners, including a redesigned kitchen created with entertaining and everyday living in mind. The centerpiece is an oversized island, complemented by abundant cabinetry and storage, creating a natural gathering place for family and friends-whether you're cooking, baking, entertaining, or simply starting the day. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, skylights, an open-beam ceiling in the great room, a fireplace, updated windows and flooring, tankless water heater, upgraded electrical panel, as well as EV charging. Owned solar paired with two Tesla Powerwall battery backups adds another level of energy savings and energy independence, and peace of mind. Outside, both the front and rear yards have been extensively redesigned with a distinctive blend of Corten steel planters, decomposed granite, mature landscaping, and numerous fruit trees. The expansive front yard also provides valuable additional space with the potential to accommodate a Sprinter van, trailer, or an RV . Set on a generous cul-de-sac lot, the property offers exciting possibilities for the future, including potential space for a pool or ADU. With Carlsbad Village, the beach, restaurants, shopping, and highly regarded schools just minutes away, the location captures so much of what makes living in Olde Carlsbad special. 1801 Ratcliff Road hasn't simply been remodeled, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a home designed for how people want to live, gather, and entertain today.
