This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome at 2,011 square feet in Carlsbad, CA 92010 delivers a fully owned 6.8kW solar system with a 13.2kWh Tesla Powerwall inside Acacia at The Preserve. Built in 2019 within the sought-after Preserve community in North County San Diego, this home backs onto a protected nature preserve and comes with more than $270,000 in documented upgrades, from a full smart-home retrofit to a backyard built for year-round entertaining. Twenty owned LG340 solar panels pair with the Tesla Powerwall and a dedicated 60-amp breaker already capped and ready for a plug-and-play EV charger, so you can charge your car and run the home on stored solar power without touching a monthly electric bill. Inside, a Brilliant Smart Home system puts lighting, intercom, audio, and your Ring doorbell on one app, while Nest smart locks secure the front door and garage and Philips Hue accent lighting sets the mood in every room. You'll appreciate a Bose Lifestyle 650 surround sound system with five speakers, an amplifier, and dual subwoofers built into the living space, backed by a Deco WiFi 7 mesh network that keeps every device connected from the primary suite to the backyard. The chef's kitchen centers on a large quartz-topped island, an upgraded oven and dishwasher, a custom dry bar with beverage refrigerator, and a 2025 touchless kitchen faucet, all finished with luxury vinyl plank flooring that carries through the main living areas. Solid wood crown moulding, solid wood window and door casings, and premium V-groove shiplap wrap the home in the kind of millwork buyers notice the moment they walk in, while the primary suite adds a custom recessed wall paneling accent, a custom closet by Closet World, motorized recessed TV mount, and Hunter Douglas motorized shades. Upstairs, a custom loft built-in furniture module makes the bonus space work as a home office or second family room a detail remote-working buyers relocating from the Bay Area or Seattle will put to immediate use without sacrificing square footage. Step outside to a backyard built around a custom in-ground spa with a large waterfall and water wall feature, a porcelain tile deck, gas fire pits, and a smart pool control system running the Jandy pool equipment, so the entire outdoor experience is dialed in from your phone. Dual-zone air conditioning, natural gas heat, a whole-house fan, and a whole-house water filtration and softening system with dedicated reverse-osmosis drinking water at the kitchen sink round out a home that has been upgraded at every level, not just staged for photos. As part of Acacia at The Preserve in Carlsbad, HOA dues of $415 per month through Keystone Pacific include access to a beach-entry community pool, fitness center, multiple parks and playgrounds, a dog park, guest parking, security patrol, and miles of trails through the community's nature preserve. If you're a couple in your 30s or 40s starting or growing a family, this address puts you inside the award-winning Carlsbad Unified School District, with Hope Elementary, Calavera Hills Middle School, and Sage Creek High School all within two miles. Buyers coming from Oceanside or Vista will find the commute effortless, while move-up buyers from Los Angeles or Orange County trade freeway time for a quieter North County San Diego pace just 5.6 miles from Carlsbad's own Tamarack State Beach, shopping, and dining. For Bay Area or Seattle buyers accustomed to paying a premium per square foot, this 2,011-square-foot townhome at $1,275,000 delivers more livable space, a fully paid-off solar and battery system, a turnkey move-in with nothing left to upgrade, and an easy 38-mile drive to San Diego International Airport for frequent flyers and visiting family. Private showings available by appointment. Visit https://thewrightgroupsd.com/properties/3157-salina-roa for the full video tour, Matterport 3D walkthrough, and architectural floor plans.
