Originally remodeled in 2012, the home strikes a perfect balance between timeless charm and modern sophistication.

Sustainable living meets resort-style luxury with fully owned solar panels and a solar-heated, saltwater pool featuring natural boulders, a water slide, spa, and outdoor bar area complete with pool bath. The beautifully landscaped grounds are a retreat of their own, with meandering pathways that lead to a gazebo, walking bridge, greenhouse, and garden ready for planting. Enjoy a bounty of fresh citrus from your private orchard, including lemon, lime, orange, tangelo, and tangerine trees. Ideally located near top-rated schools, Fletcher Cove Beach, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, the San Elijo Lagoon, shopping, dining, entertainment, and the train station — everything you need is just minutes away. With ample space for an ADU, sports court, or additional parking via a convenient side driveway, this one-of-a-kind property offers privacy, versatility, and endless potential.
