Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Coastal Location: Situated on a highly sought-after street in Encinitas, offering direct walkability to pristine beaches and the vibrant Leucadia downtown with its array of restaurants and coffee shops.
Panoramic Ocean Views & Entertainment Spaces: Boasts ocean views from the kitchen and living room, a 360-degree ocean-view roof deck, and extensive outdoor amenities including a pool, spa, sauna, outdoor kitchen, and pizza oven.
Luxurious & Sustainable Design: Built in 2012 with LEED Platinum certification, owned solar, whole-house water filtration, an elevator, and high-end finishes throughout, including a chef's kitchen and lavish primary suite.
Rare Double Lot with Guest House: Offers a substantial 10,454 sq ft double lot, providing ample space and privacy, complemented by a charming 441 sq ft guest house with its own private patio.
Extensive Amenities & Storage: Features a 3+ car garage with extra storage for recreational gear, two laundry rooms, multiple outdoor showers, and abundant storage, catering to a comprehensive luxury lifestyle.

Cons

Significant Price Adjustment: The property has undergone a substantial price reduction from an original list price of $9.95M to $6.95M, which may indicate an initial overvaluation or challenges in market reception.
High Ongoing Costs: A property of this size and with such extensive luxury features (pool, spa, sauna, large lot, advanced systems) will likely incur significant ongoing maintenance, utility, and property tax expenses.
Niche Market Appeal: The ultra-luxury price point and specific high-end features, while desirable, target a very exclusive buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer sales cycle compared to broader market segments.
