About This Home
As of December 2024This oceanfront unit is located on a 40’ wide oceanfront lot and has unfettered sit down whitewater ocean view across the entire 40’ of ocean frontage. You are literally sitting on the ocean with expansive 180° whitewater ocean views across the property. This is not a narrow or dark condo; it feels and lives more like a single-family residence. Located high above and far away from the street it is quiet, private and wonderful. With a full width oceanfront patio and a glass enclosed oceanfront dining area, this property affords stunning ocean views from the living room, dining room and kitchen. One of the two bedrooms has an en suite kitchenette and full bath. This property has been very well maintained, has a private 1 car garage and can be leased partially furnished or completely unfurnished. Beach access is at Stone Steps Public beach access (one block away) or Moonlight State Beach (4 blocks away). Other than that it's a terrific location close to downtown Encinitas, freeway access and the Coaster station. We are looking for someone who will take the property until at least May 31 of next year. Water, gas, trash and electric are all included. You must arrange for your own cable TV, Internet and phone services. Last month’s rent will be collected at move-in. The property is partially furnished. We can remove the furniture or leave it as it is, but that might require a larger deposit. All of that is up for discussion.
