A beautifully landscaped front yard with lush tropical plants, turf and a hardscaped patio creates exceptional curb appeal. Inside, the formal living room features high ceilings and large picture windows that fill the space with natural light. The open layout flows seamlessly from the living room to the dining room, then into the designer kitchen and family room, all overlooking the resort-style backyard. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a large center island, counter seating, premium appliances including a Viking 6-burner range with griddle, and a convenient passthrough to the dining room—perfect for entertaining. The adjoining family room offers easy access to the backyard through French doors, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The first floor also features a spacious bedroom and full bath with a walk-in shower, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A dedicated laundry room with built-in cabinetry and a sink station adds convenience. The backyard is a private tropical oasis with a sparkling pool, swim-up bar stools surrounding a sunken barbecue island and bar, a cozy fire pit, and a mix of turf, hardscape, and mature palm trees for a perfect blend of relaxation and fun. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys tranquil views, a fireplace, and a spa-like bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated bath with dual sinks and a tub-shower combo. Additional highlights include a 3-car garage, tile flooring downstairs, carpet upstairs, owned pool solar, leased home solar, custom window coverings, and designer lighting and hardware throughout.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location: Situated in a highly desirable Encinitas neighborhood, offering convenient access to top schools, diverse dining, shopping, and just 2.5 miles from the beach.
Luxurious Outdoor Living: Features a private, resort-style backyard oasis complete with a sparkling pool, swim-up bar, fire pit, and lush tropical landscaping, perfect for entertaining and relaxation.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen: Boasts a thoughtfully designed kitchen with a large center island, premium Viking appliances, and a seamless connection to dining and family rooms, ideal for culinary enthusiasts.
Flexible & Functional Layout: Offers an open floor plan with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a valuable first-floor bedroom and full bath, accommodating multi-generational living or guest needs.
Modern Upgrades & Curb Appeal: Showcases extensive modern upgrades, designer finishes throughout, owned pool solar, leased home solar, and an exceptionally landscaped front yard enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Cons

Leased Solar System: The home solar system is leased, which may introduce ongoing monthly payments or transfer complexities for a new owner, unlike a fully owned system.
Carpeted Upper Level: The presence of carpet on the upper level might not appeal to all buyers who prefer hard surface flooring throughout for aesthetic consistency or ease of maintenance.
Limited Views: While in a prime location, the property offers only 'Hills, Neighborhood' views, lacking the highly sought-after ocean vistas often desired in coastal Encinitas.
