The storybook charm begins at the curb--and 7791 Madrilena Way is every bit as special inside. Behind the newly landscaped front yard, coastal blue shutters, soft white stucco and terracotta roof sits a beautifully renovated home with warmth, character and an exceptionally livable layout. Natural light fills the approximately 2,300-square-foot interior throughout the day, moving across new hardwood floors and connecting the spaces within the U-shaped, single-level floor plan. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a flexible bonus room offer plenty of room to make your own--the additional space is ideal as an office, secondary living room or optional fourth bedroom. At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen pairs oak cabinetry with natural stone countertops, a ceramic farmhouse sink, Forno appliances and a brand-new back pantry--a wonderfully practical addition with abundant storage and a workspace. Beautifully updated bathrooms, a smooth stucco exterior and many more thoughtful improvements throughout make the home feel fresh and finished without losing its personality. The backyard is a generous space to gather, dine and unwind against a backdrop of mountain views to the east. Morning light, relaxed evenings and Carlsbad's near-perfect climate make outdoor living an easy part of the everyday rhythm here. All of this is tucked into the heart of Rancho La Costa, one of Carlsbad's most desirable neighborhoods, with highly regarded schools, major shopping and everyday conveniences just five minutes away--and the coast just 12 minutes from home.
