Remarks

A rare Olde Carlsbad original with nearly a century of history! Begun in 1930 and completed in early 1931, when Carlsbad was still an unincorporated coastal community, this distinctive Spanish Colonial residence represents an early chapter in the history of what would become Olde Carlsbad. Built by Louis C. Buhl as his own home, the property was documented in contemporary newspaper accounts from construction through completion, with one account describing it as “one of the most attractive homes in the city” and highlighting its prominent Highland Drive setting with “a marvelous ocean view.” Nearly a century of coastal development has naturally changed the sweeping views described in 1930, yet the property still retains a glimpse of the Pacific that reflects its original setting. Today, its Spanish Colonial architecture, original character and mature landscaping create an unmistakable sense of place. A welcoming front porch is framed by mature privacy hedges, while inside, hardwood floors, original architectural details and a charming brick fireplace add warmth and character throughout. The main level offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, while a separate lower level features a compact 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment-style guest suite with its own private rear access. The gently sloped lot
