1423 Sapphire, Carlsbad, CA 92011

Set within the gated hilltop community of Mar Brisa, this thoughtfully upgraded home is ideally positioned with no home directly behind and no neighbor to the south. The result is a rare sense of openness and privacy, complemented by a southwest-facing backyard that enjoys great natural light throughout the day and well-maintained landscaping. Inside, the home has been tastefully improved with hardwood flooring throughout and a remodeled kitchen featuring quartz counters, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, under-cabinet lighting, and a center island with wine storage—all opening to the main living areas for an open, connected feel. Since purchasing, the current owners have continued to elevate the home with custom built-ins in the living room, an updated fireplace mantel, and fresh interior and exterior paint. White plantation shutters add a clean, cohesive finish throughout. Additional highlights include 20 owned solar panels paired with a Tesla Powerwall, newer central HVAC, an upstairs laundry room, and a well-balanced floor plan with four bedrooms upstairs, including a spacious primary suite with dual walk-in closets. The garage is finished with epoxy flooring and built-in cabinetry for added functionality and storage. Located just steps from the community pool, less than a 10-minute drive to the beach, and within the highly regarded Carlsbad school district, this home offers a compelling blend of privacy, convenience, and coastal lifestyle.
