About This Home

As of August 2026

Coveted Encinitas Cul-de-Sac RARE OVERSIZED LOT in coastal Encinitas this move-in ready luxury home sits on a premium, oversized lot on a quiet cul-de-sac, nearly impossible to find at this price point. Over 4,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space includes 5 bedrooms, a versatile loft, and designer finishes throughout. The open-concept chef's kitchen anchors the home with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and an expansive island flowing into generous living and dining areas built for entertaining. Oversized windows and walls of sliding glass frame lush garden views and fill every room with light the warm, airy feel that defines coastal California living. Out back, your private resort awaits: a cocktail pool, multiple al fresco lounge areas, and mature tropical landscaping made for 365-day indoor-outdoor living Southern California lifestyle at its best. Upstairs, the primary suite is a spa-inspired retreat with a soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower, and custom walk-in closet. Spacious secondary bedrooms flex easily into a home office, gym, or guest suite ideal for families, remote professionals, and buyers relocating to North County San Diego. Minutes to Encinitas beaches, Swami's, downtown Encinitas dining and boutiques, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia. Zoned for top-rated Encinitas Union and San Dieguito schools, with easy access to I-5 and the 101.
