Description

Welcome to 6801–6803 El Fuerte—a one-of-a-kind, fully renovated Spanish duplex in the heart of Carlsbad that checks every box and then some. With ocean views, spacious living, stylish design, and serious flexibility, this is not your average property. The larger residence (6803) boasts 3 oversized bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms across a generous 2,811 sq ft. Every bedroom is large enough to serve as a primary, and one is conveniently located on the entry level. The dramatic two-story entry sets the tone with soaring ceilings, natural light, and a grand staircase with classic Spanish banister detail. The show-stopping kitchen and family room are warmed by terra cotta color tile, wood ceiling beams, and elevated finishes throughout. Upstairs, a laundry room adds daily convenience, while ocean views from multiple rooms remind you just how special this location is. The second home (6801) offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 1,441 sq ft of equally thoughtful design. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and skylights create a bright, inviting vibe. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, as well as a powder room downstairs for guests. The laundry/mud room is straight out of a magazine—complete with counter space, sink, and custom details. Both units enjoy private yards—one with a DG patio, solo stove, and lounge seating for cozy evenings by the fire, and both with grassy areas perfect for pets or play. Parking is rarely this easy: 6803 features a 3-car garage, while 6801 has a 2-car garage, plus spacious driveways on both sides. This is a truly rare asset in Carlsbad—two stylish, move-in-ready homes with views, yards, garages, and endless versatility. Live in one and rent the other, keep family close while maintaining privacy, or rent both for an excellent investment return. An ideal candidate for a 1031 exchange, or simply the perfect turnkey opportunity for someone who wants something special without lifting a finger.
