Overview

The vibe: Secret Garden. Uncover a parklike backyard on over a third of an acre at this peaceful 3BR, 3BA retreat w/ fresh, modern ambiance. Neatly tucked onto a cul-de-sac, the house is updated w/European white oak floors & Quartzite countertops. The serene landscape punctuates interiors w/greenery & light while the floor plan opens onto a patio & fireplace. Kick back. Entertain. Upstairs, the primary suite has a cedar walk-in closet. Easy access to beaches, Leucadia, Fox Point & hiking trails. Bright and welcoming with vaulted ceilings, a commitment to timeless elegance was essential to a 2019 remodel. Upscale finishes include European white oak floors, vaulted ceilings, updated bathrooms with luxe tiles; an open kitchen with top-tier appliances, a gas fireplace and new garage flooring. The floor plan encourages connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a sense of spaciousness and flow. The backyard reflects decades of TLC; it has been meticulously maintained by the same landscapers since the house was built in 1988. It’s an oasis to rest and recharge. With a heroic Carrotwood tree as the centerpiece, the house doesn’t encroach upon nature but instead becomes a part of it. A visual connection to the green space is what sets this residence apart. On the main level, the vaulted ceilings welcome dappled sunlight while french doors and sliding doors open onto the landscape. Upstairs, there are garden views from the office and secondary bedroom. The .34 acre lot has ample room to entertain and carve out quiet nooks. Unwind. Fire up the grill. Add a pool; plant a vegetable garden. Proximity is one of the big boasts here. It’s easy to plug into the energetic Encinitas lifestyle with beaches, and downtown Leucadia and Encinitas within a quick drive or bike ride. In walking distance, the new Fox Point Farms is a spirited community hub activated with culinary and wellness pursuits. The conveniences of The Forum and El Camino Real provide everything in reach.
