About This Home

As of April 2026

Situated on an expansive nearly half-acre lot, this beautifully reimagined home at 1502 Vanessa Cir offers a rare blend of privacy, modern design, and sweeping area views. The property features a fresh, turnkey renovation with a striking Spanish-modern aesthetic, highlighted by a classic tile roof and dramatic black-framed windows throughout that fill the home with natural light. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan offers exceptional flow, centered around an open kitchen with a large island and modern appliances, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. A stunning vanishing wall of glass creates seamless indoor-outdoor living, opening to a covered patio and expansive backyard with beautiful west/northern-facing area views. The YARDZEN designed grounds are equally impressive, featuring lush grass surrounding the property, a gated front entrance for added privacy, and a newly installed sauna perfectly positioned to capture the views. With its massive lot, refined finishes, and effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, this Encinitas property delivers an extremely rare combination of space, style, and tranquility in one of North County’s most desirable coastal communities.
