You'll be mesmerized from the moment you walk through the door of this remodeled resort-style property with the privacy of a custom estate in the gated Westcliffe community. Surrounded by picturesque hills and tucked away from sight down a long private drive, this magical property has a sense of serenity and naturalism like no other. ~ The Exterior: Embraced by a semi-circlular backdrop of San Elijo hills that glow with a golden hue at dusk, this Craftsman home sits on almost half an acre. A private, off street easement driveway which ends at the base of a hiking trail means no through traffic and parking for 8-10. The backyard offers extraordinary resort-style living with 6 waterfalls splashing into a heated pool with a waterslide, stream, hidden grotto and jetted spa. Swim through a waterfall into a cave, where your host can hand you a cool beverage through the grotto window as you sit inside and watch the waterfall from inside. Flagstone walkways encircle the entire backyard, and a detached pool casita welcomes guests with its own bedroom/bath. ~ The Interior: Upon entry, a large arched living room window frames lively splashing hillside waterfalls! It's like watching the nature channel every time you walk through your front door. The kitchen has been recently modernized with white solid wooden shaker cabinetry, a new dine-on island for 4-6, Carrera Imperial quartz counters reaching to ceiling & Serena & Lily chandeliers trimmed in capiz shell. A floor to ceiling fireplace has also had a makeover with sparkling subway legerstone and a d rustic wood mantle. The primary bathroom is recently modernized with porcelain tiled flooring, harbor grey quartz counters and a vanity imbued with a mosaic of river rock. The flooring throughout is plank LVP in a french oak tone. ~ The Ideal Layout: A versatile downstairs bonus room can be used as a gym, office or bedroom. Also downstairs is a full bedroom with private bath. A very spacious upstairs loft can be personalized into a media room or another generous relaxation area. The loft overlooks an airy 2 story dining room. The primary suite has its own bonus room facing the hillside waterfalls, perfect for nursery, music room, gym or reading room. Upstairs, there is also a "jack-n-jill" bedroom pair with separate vanity areas, as well as an ensuite guest room overlooking the front. ~Other Bonuses: -A Tesla roof-mounted 13.5KW solar system will save on energy bills. - A BRAND NEW 2-zone Air Conditioning system was just installed. ~ The Quaint Area: The town of San Elijo hills is just adjacent to La Costa and is a destination in itself, with adorable town square, grassy central park with fountains, boutiques, restaurants, bike shops and hiking/biking trails all around. Beaches of Encinitas and Carlsbad are close by. Districted for the highly rated San Marcos High, and with the middle school right across Rancho Santa Fe Rd, this home, and this town have ALL you need for a beautiful life.
