About this home

Welcome to 4050 Syme Drive, a coastal retreat with ocean views on a quiet cul-de-sac near Agua Hedionda Lagoon in Carlsbad. Lush front landscaping, a putting green, and a cascading waterfall create a memorable first impression for this one-of-a-kind North County home. Inside, the living room pairs warm oak paneling and illuminated built-in bookcases with a brick fireplace and a bay window seat overlooking the courtyard. The kitchen is made for gathering, centered on a granite island with an attached dining table that seats eight. A garden window above the sink, abundant cabinetry, a double-drawer dishwasher, reverse osmosis filtration, and a built-in coffee system add everyday convenience. The primary bedroom is on the lower level with an adjacent bathroom, just down the hall from the garage entrance. French doors open to a private backyard with an entertainment-ready covered pavilion, outdoor fireplace, gas BBQ, and multiple dining and lounge areas framed by mature landscaping, ideal for dining al fresco and evenings outdoors. Upstairs, a light-filled great room features a vaulted wood-plank ceiling, exposed beams, and expansive divided-light windows overlooking the ocean and the cul-de-sac below, the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Down the hall, a discreet closet door reveals a surprise: roughly 240 square feet of finished loft space with skylights and built-in storage cabinets and drawers, ready to become a game room, office, or studio. Both secondary bedrooms have built-in Murphy beds for added flexibility, and a bathroom completes the upper level. Additional features include dual-pane Milgard windows, an updated electrical panel with a dedicated 240V circuit for an EV charger, and a dog run. Close to local schools and just minutes from Carlsbad's beaches and the shops and restaurants of Carlsbad Village, this home blends character, comfort, and coastal living.
