Property Description
Welcome home to 7971 Paseo Esmerado! 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. This highly sought-after Centex Plan 5 floorplan includes a desirable downstairs bedroom with an ensuite bath, expansive gathering spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow that connects beautifully to the backyard and surrounding views. The expansive lot offers exceptional usability with room for a future pool, outdoor dining, gardens, or play areas, while backing to permanently protected open space and wildlife preserve land that will never be built on. The canyon setting creates a rare sense of privacy, tranquility, and connection to nature, with HOA-maintained slope landscaping and preserved habitat extending beyond the property. Over the years, the home has been thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained. Improvements include fresh interior paint, replaced first-floor flooring, a rebuilt banister, refaced kitchen cabinetry, refreshed downstairs and upstairs kids’ bathrooms, majority window replacement, solar panels, water softener system, whole house fan, replaced west-side fencing, and updated kitchen appliances including the Subzero refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, KitchenAid oven, Thermador range and disposal. Designed to be enjoyed year-round, the backyard offers multiple spaces to gather, entertain, and unwind while taking in the views. A built-in BBQ, above-ground jacuzzi, and expansive yard create a setting that feels both peaceful and inviting. Additional highlights include a 4-car garage with substantial storage and access to top-rated schools. Located in one of North County’s most sought-after communities, the home is just minutes from shopping, restaurants, golf, trails, and the coast while still feeling tucked away and serene.
