Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2009, this property falls within the 10-20 year age range for a 'good' condition rating. The home is move-in ready and features modern wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and well-maintained exterior stucco and landscaping. While the architectural style is contemporary and the systems appear well-maintained, it does not meet the 'excellent' criteria as it is over 10 years old and there is no evidence of a full-scale renovation within the last 5 years.
Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
The estate offers expansive, unobstructed ocean and mountain views, including a dedicated sunset rooftop deck that maximizes its elevated coastal position.
Featuring a main house, a detached suite, and separate creative spaces, the property provides exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living or a sophisticated home office setup.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
With a listing price of $3.5M following a $3M sale in 2022, the rapid valuation increase may require strong market justification for some buyers.
Being located on Santa Fe Drive may result in some ambient traffic noise, which could slightly detract from the otherwise serene and private atmosphere.
Panoramic Ocean Views. Total Privacy. Something Different. There’s a reason homes like this rarely trade hands. Tucked away in one of Encinitas’ most desirable coastal pockets, this estate quietly delivers what most buyers spend years searching for and almost never find. Ocean views that actually feel big. Spaces that live larger than expected. Separation where you want it. Connection where it matters. Main house. Detached suite. Separate creative spaces. Sunset rooftop moments. Courtyard mornings. Indoor/outdoor flow that feels intentional instead of forced. It’s not just the ocean and mountain views. It’s not just the layout. It’s how the entire property lives. If you’ve been waiting for something that doesn’t feel like everything else on the market, this is it.
