Adjacent to Orpheus Park, this home is just minutes from downtown Encinitas, the PCH/101 corridor, Paul Ecke Central Elementary and the Sunday Leucadia Farmers Market. This location offers the perfect balance of beach-town charm and everyday convenience. Inside, natural light pours through large windows, highlighting the warmth of Saltillo tile and the dramatic 18-foot wood-beamed ceiling in the great room and dining room. Two fireplaces provide a cozy and inviting ambiance as the seasons change. The main home offers two en-suite bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by an attached casita. Equipped with its own entrance and patio with ocean view, kitchen, living space, bedroom and full bathroom with jacuzzi shower, this casita is perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or rental opportunities.
