Perched atop a spacious .58-acre lot in The Ranch of Carlsbad, this stunning Craftsman offers sweeping views, generous living spaces, and a warm, welcoming feel throughout. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a spacious upstairs bonus room, downstairs office/music room, and approximately 4,609 square feet, the home features a flexible layout designed to comfortably accommodate both everyday living and entertaining.
