Despite being built in 1978, this property has undergone extensive and continuous renovations, making it virtually new in terms of condition and style. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely remodeled in 2016, featuring modern white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, contemporary tile backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, and a spa-like master steam shower. Flooring (vinyl plank and carpet), electrical, HVAC, windows, and the roof were also updated between 2015-2021. The exterior, interior paint, and even the main sewer line were addressed very recently (2020-2024). The images confirm a pristine, modern aesthetic throughout, with high-quality finishes and no visible deferred maintenance. This property meets current quality standards with minimal physical depreciation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated just blocks from iconic Encinitas beaches and the vibrant 101 corridor, offering unparalleled walkability to upscale dining, shopping, cafes, and surf, all within a serene cul-de-sac.
Income-Generating ADU: Features a detached oversized two-car garage with a full 1-bedroom/1-bath ADU and rooftop deck, providing significant flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest accommodations.
Extensive Recent Renovations: The property has undergone comprehensive updates from 2013-2024, including a new roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathrooms, and a replaced main sewer line, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Development Potential: A generously sized lot in a coveted coastal enclave presents a unique opportunity for discerning buyers to expand, reimagine, or build a custom masterpiece estate.
Luxurious Outdoor Amenities & Privacy: Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces include tropical landscaping, turf, a private courtyard, a jacuzzi, and a professional putting green, all within a private, fully fenced cul-de-sac setting.

Cons

Price Discrepancy: The current list price of $3.15M is notably higher than the estimated property value of approximately $2.735M, which could impact buyer perception and negotiation.
Original Construction Age: Despite extensive renovations, the main house was built in 1978, meaning some underlying structural or design elements may still reflect its age, potentially requiring future considerations.
Absence of a Swimming Pool: For a luxury coastal property with a focus on outdoor living, the lack of a dedicated swimming pool might be a notable omission for some high-end buyers.
