About This Home

Fully renovated coastal studio in the heart of Leucadia! This beautifully updated 495-square-foot ADU offers a private entrance and thoughtfully designed living space just minutes from some of North County’s best beaches and the vibrant lifestyle of Historic Highway 101. The bright, open studio floor plan features modern finishes, abundant natural light, a cozy fireplace, private in-unit laundry, and a private patio that extends the living space outdoors—perfect for relaxing, dining, or enjoying Leucadia’s year-round coastal climate. Ideally located near Beacon’s Beach, Grandview Beach, and Moonlight Beach, with convenient access to world-class surfing, coastal trails, cafés, restaurants, breweries, boutique shopping, yoga studios, and the Encinitas Farmers Market. Walk or bike to many of Leucadia’s favorite destinations while enjoying the privacy and comfort of your own coastal retreat. Convenient access to Interstate 5 and the Coaster station makes commuting to Del Mar, Carlsbad, UC San Diego, and surrounding employment centers easy. A rare opportunity to lease a fully renovated, private studio ADU in one of North County San Diego’s most desirable beach communities.
