Property details
About 2780 James Dr
Brand new and built with intention, 2780 James Dr sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in one of Carlsbad’s most desirable neighborhoods — just minutes from the beach, Carlsbad Village, and local parks and trails. This 2024 custom home brings together high design, thoughtful functionality, and a coastal lifestyle that feels both elevated and effortless. With 4 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and a detached ADU with its own full bath, the layout offers over 4,000 square feet of open, light-filled living. Designed for flexibility and flow, it’s a home that adapts — whether you’re hosting, resetting, or simply living well. Inside, premium materials and intentional details speak for themselves: white oak flooring, natural Taj Mahal stone, fully built-out closets, Lutron lighting, and integrated smart-home features including sound, security, and pool controls — all accessible from a single hub. The main living space opens to a private backyard retreat complete with a smart-controlled pool and spa, outdoor kitchen + BBQ, and newly planted privacy hedges that wrap around the lot and will mature beautifully over time. Upstairs, the primary suite is a standout — double white oak entry doors, a wraparound balcony, spa-inspired bathroom, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a center island — designed to feel like your own personal boutique. Everything about this home was done with care — from layout to finish, from technology to tone. It’s elevated, modern, and built to enhance the way you live — every day. A special offering in one of coastal Carlsbad’s most sought-after pockets.
