Southern California is known for its outdoor lifestyle, and there are certainly lots of ways to enjoy it - surfing, sailing, the beaches, hiking, and so much more. And, as a buyer you have an opportunity to purchase a Carlsbad home that will allow you to enjoy the true California lifestyle at home. Outdoor kitchens have become incredibly popular and can range from a simply barbecue or can be as elaborate as you wish, up to a full replica of an indoor kitchen with a large flat screen TV (see Marlene's terrific post on a must have in Orange County - Outdoor Rooms). Many homes in Carlsbad, particular more expensive properties, offer variations of outdoor kitchens, and the options to expand are, for the most part, are only limited by your imagination and budget.
Some folks prefer a simple cooking arrangement outside (in many cases just a gas grill), but want more of a separate outdoor room to enjoy dining, entertaining, or just relaxing. These areas often include an outdoor fireplace and large seating area, which you can customize as you desire. Model homes for a number of the local builders also showcase these outdoors rooms for you to dream. The following virtual tour illustrates some of the options you have as a buyer of a new Carlsbad home, but also may suggest some things to consider when buying your Carlsbad home. |

Hi Jeff, A beautifully done post. I learn so much watching you, your style and the way you capture the imagination of your readers. So well done and a real inspiration to me.
Always,
William
Thank, Cyndee - it sure is what I like about being here. And folks here in Carlsbad certainly know how to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle our weather affords them
Jeff
Marlene - well, none of these although I have some ideas about what I want to do. However, the duck in the prior post on water features are floating in my spool.
Jeff
William - what a nice thng to say. I don't think I do anythng particularly special but the compliment is certainly appreciated. Sure hope it appeals to other readers, too!
Jeff
Thanks, Ana. It was a fun thing to do also.
Jeff
Hi Jeff!
The outdoor living area is the most enjoyable part of southern California living!!! I'm missing that warm, breezy weather... eating breakfast outdoors, leaving the windows cracked year-round, napping on the loungechair..
Sara - so good to hear from you! Hope your move went smoothly. Yes, the outdoor lifestyle is certainly one that many appreciate and take advantage of.
Jeff
Paula- well, nothing has changed, but the way in which people can enjoy the outdoors seems to be getting more sophisticated (and expensive). The air is changing here, too, as fall has now arrived, but certainly not the change YOU are experiencing. I'll take this, thank you.
Jeff
Jeff, beautiful job on the video. That’s another concept I had not seen before, but that might be that is would not very conducive to the months of December through April here in New England ...... LOL
The advantages of live in a sunny climateMariana - that is true. The whole concept of a blurring of inside and out is becomming much more obvious in the new housing being built. I have even seen listings where they are counting the outdoor room SF (but at least appear to be disclosing that it is included).
Jeff
George - LOL. Well I certainly know THAT first hand from being in New England for so many years. And THAT'S why I am here now. :)
Jeff
Thanks, Kaye. Yep, some are pretty amazing - nicer than some folks indoor kitchen and living spaces.
