2008 Saliente Way, Carlsbad, CA 92009

This property has panoramic views of the lagoon, hills, suburban lights, the La Costa Resort, and a partial ocean view. Just 3 doors down on Saliente, a home, slightly smaller, with similar views, the same private street, the same quality of layout went into escrow with an asking price of $2,199,000 and a sold price of !.95M. So why $1,800,000? Deferred (cosmetic) maintenance and a Trust sale. Maintenance: the home has the original windows from 1978, original carpet, some non-working kitchen appliances. The fencing is incomplete. Those and a complete interior paint job will awaken this winning floor plan. 1978 is a great year because CA made illegal lead-based paint, and asbestos in homes. This home not only has 4 bedrooms and three baths, with one of the bedrooms and baths downstairs, great for guests or elderly, it has a great room upstairs that could be made into more bedrooms if you have a big family. Saliente and this neighborhood is unique with no neighbors across the extra wide street, which means more parking and privacy. And rare with no back door neighbors (they’re down the hill). Enjoy no HOA and no Mello-Roos. It has the best schools (La Costa Heights, Oak Crest, La Costa Canyon High School). Close to shopping (7 short blocks from El Camino Real). Upswept breezes from the lagoon make A/C optional. Despite deferred maintenance this home appraised hundreds of thousands higher, so run, but don’t trip. You’ll enjoy an island kitchen,a pantry, and two fireplaces. A brand-new furnace was installed on 1/1/2024. This home will disappear quickly.
