The property, built in 1978, has undergone extensive renovations between 2013 and 2024. Key updates include a new kitchen and complete master bathroom remodel in 2016, new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and windows in 2016, and a new roof in 2015/2020-21. The exterior, interior paint, and some carpeting were updated more recently in 2020-2021, and the main sewer line was replaced in 2024. While the kitchen and main bathrooms are 8 years old, they still present a modern and well-maintained appearance with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and contemporary finishes as seen in the images. The property is move-in ready with major systems functional and within their expected lifespan, aligning well with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated just blocks from Encinitas' iconic beaches and the vibrant 101 corridor, offering unparalleled walkability to upscale dining, boutique shopping, cafes, and surf, while maintaining privacy on a serene cul-de-sac.
Income-Generating ADU: Features a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with an oversized two-car garage and a private rooftop deck, providing significant flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or guest accommodations.
Extensive Recent Renovations: The property has undergone comprehensive updates from 2013-2024, including a new roof, HVAC system, updated kitchen and bathrooms, electrical, plumbing (including a new sewer line), and exterior, ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Luxurious Outdoor Living: Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces include a professional Jack Nicklaus putting green, a private jacuzzi, tropical landscaping, a serene courtyard, and mature citrus trees, enhancing lifestyle and curb appeal.
Development Potential: A generously sized lot in a highly coveted coastal enclave offers discerning buyers the unique opportunity to reimagine, expand, or build a custom masterpiece, providing significant future value appreciation.

Cons

Overpriced Relative to Market Estimation: The current list price of $3.15M is approximately 8% higher than the property's estimated value of $2.88M, which may suggest an aggressive pricing strategy or a potential disconnect with current market valuations.
Past Multi-Unit Conversion: The property's history of being converted into four individual rental units with kitchenettes (later reversed) might raise questions about potential structural modifications or wear and tear from its previous intensive use, despite recent renovations.
Absence of a Swimming Pool: Despite extensive outdoor amenities and a generously sized lot, the property lacks a swimming pool, which could be a notable drawback for luxury buyers in a coastal Encinitas market, potentially requiring additional investment for installation.
