Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a spacious corner lot in the gated Fairways at La Costa, this immaculate home offers peaceful canyon views, open space, and rare privacy with no neighbors directly behind or to the right. Designed to live like a single-level home, the layout includes the primary suite and an optional guest bedroom or office on the main floor. Step through the front door and into a light-filled, open-concept layout with soaring two-story ceilings and stylish, contemporary finishes. The entry opens to a formal living room with dramatic vaulted ceilings and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The adjacent dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, highlighted by a 15-foot sliding glass door that opens to the expansive side yard for a true indoor-outdoor connection. The chef’s kitchen features a waterfall-edge island crafted from natural quartzite, Thermador appliances, modern cabinetry, brushed nickel patina hardware, a second prep sink with built-in glass rinser, and reverse osmosis filtration. Just beyond, the family room features a sleek linear gas fireplace fireplace and a second set of sliding doors that open to the backyard. A custom wine bar with open shelving, a beverage fridge, and ambient lighting adds warmth, style, and functionality to the space. The private primary suite offers large windows and direct access to the backyard through a set of sliding glass doors. The ensuite bath features dual sinks, marble slab counters, a frameless spa walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, and large-format tile. Main floor full bath and flexible bonus room currently used as a media lounge with European style custom built-in washer/dryer closet. Washer/dryer hookups in the utility room off the garage offer the option to relocate laundry and convert the space into a fourth bedroom, office, or guest suite. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms share an upgraded full bath. Outside, the fully fenced, oversized backyard is ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with an extended stone patio, mature tropical landscaping, and a 9-person top-of-the-line Jacuzzi—perfectly positioned to take in the canyon views and peaceful creekside setting. Surrounded by lush landscaping and backed by a serene creekside setting, the home blends thoughtful upgrades with a warm, modern aesthetic and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Extensively remodeled, the home features a long list of upgrades including dual-pane windows, designer lighting, a custom glass stair railing, and a new water heater (2024). Additional highlights include a whole-house water filtration and water softener system, built-in laundry closet with ironing board and hamper, custom wine bar, and luxury kitchen and baths—all finished with intention.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
