Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1980, this property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, making it move-in ready. The primary bathroom is spa-inspired with modern tiling, a freestanding tub, and dual vanities, suggesting a very recent update. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a six-burner gas cooktop, though the countertops and backsplash appear to be from a renovation within the last 10-15 years, still in excellent condition. Gleaming hardwood floors are present throughout much of the home, and light fixtures are a mix of modern recessed and stylish chandeliers. While the property lacks central air conditioning and the original structure dates back to 1980, the visible updates are substantial and well-maintained, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10).
Prime Coastal Location: Unparalleled proximity (500ft) to world-renowned Moonlight Beach and downtown Encinitas, offering an ultimate beachside lifestyle with immediate access to sand, surf, shops, and dining.
Exceptional Outdoor Entertainment: Expansive, private courtyard featuring a large 6-person spa, built-in BBQ area, water feature, and built-in bar, ideal for hosting unforgettable gatherings and year-round relaxation.
Luxurious Primary Suite: A true retreat showcasing whitewashed open-beam ceilings, a cozy fireplace, two walk-in closets, a small office nook, two balconies, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and dual vanities.
High-End Interior & Flexible Layout: Gleaming hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, a well-appointed kitchen with a six-burner gas cooktop and stainless-steel appliances, plus a flexible ensuite room on the lower level ideal for guests or an office.
Privacy & Income Potential: A private and gated detached residence offering enhanced security, coupled with a floor plan explicitly noted for 'VRBO opportunities,' suggesting strong vacation rental income potential.

Cons

Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback for some buyers during warmer periods in Southern California.
Age of Core Systems: Built in 1980, while cosmetically updated, the property's age suggests that underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or nearing the end of its typical lifespan, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades.
Potential for Noise/Traffic: Its highly desirable location 'steps away' from a popular beach and downtown area could lead to increased noise, foot traffic, and crowds, especially during peak seasons, potentially impacting the tranquility of the private setting.
