4000 James DR Carlsbad, CA 92008

In a world of single-family homes built right on top of each other, this Ranch-style home in Old Carlsbad is a breath of fresh air! With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and plenty of room to spread out, you'll love the flexibility of the floor plan—featuring a bonus formal living room with a fireplace, a separate dining room, and a dedicated laundry room. The bonus room can be anything you need it to be: a playroom, music room, home gym, yoga studio, craft space—you name it. Storage is no issue here, with hallway cabinetry, a walk-in closet in the primary suite, and custom cabinets in both the kitchen and laundry room offering tons of space. Set at the front of a shared driveway on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home sits back from the road, giving it a peaceful, private feel. The backyard is made for outdoor living with low-maintenance hardscaping, mature palms and succulents, garden space, and a built-in BBQ and kitchen area—perfect for entertaining. After a long day, retreat to the spacious primary suite, soak in the tub, or open the French doors to your private patio and let the ocean breeze drift in. The location is just as special—walk to Magnolia Elementary, Valley Middle School, and Carlsbad High. You're also just minutes from the 5 freeway, El Camino Real corridor, grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, Starbucks, and only one mile to Carlsbad State Beach!
