Description
An early hollywood escape set on a rare private beach, this carlsbad multi-family residence features ocean views and a splash of nostalgia. with 50’ of ocean frontage, this dynamic double 7,000sf lot is terraced with four distinct west-facing, ocean-view units. there’s a two-bedroom residence with an office, a woodpaneled cottage with an ocean-view settee, a sunny studio w/ a sprawling balcony and a midcentury zig-zag roof bungalow commissioned by a hollywood costume designer as his seaside shangri-la. today, the 3,463sf building boasts major potential and proximity; walk to buzzy carlsbad village with a michelin-star culinary scene. recalling an earlier era of endless summer utopia, this well-maintained four-unit multifamily property features quadruple views of the pacific ocean on a private swath of sand. one of san diego’s most booming beachtowns, carlsbad village has become a new-era, multi-gen destination for foodies, families and retirees drawn to the pedestrian spirit. explore artisan coffee shops, renowned restaurants and a cultural scene that includes surf-board shapers, glass blowers and new village arts community theater. you are central to the action. walk everywhere. the carlsbad village train station provides true metropolitan living; ride the coaster downtown to padre games, make reservations in little italy, or go north to explore ever-vibrant oceanside on foot. here, each unit allows for independent living, yet proximity encourages residents to come together socially. shared spaces include the beachfront and fire pit, an outdoor shower and extra storage for beach toys. the property captures the relaxed, laconic vibe of mid-60s beach life. with lapping blue waves and your toes in the sand, the carlsbad coastline still feels worlds away from the bustle of southern california. originally built in 1962, the house was designed as an escape pad for robert ellsworth, a second-gen costume designer from a hollywood family who worked with directors alfred hitchcock, robert wise and stephen spielberg.
