Tucked at the top end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this thoughtfully upgraded Encinitas home blends coastal lifestyle with resort-inspired living. Situated on an expansive nearly 10,000 sq ft lot, the private backyard is an entertainer's dream-featuring a saltwater PebbleTec pool and spa, gas heat, Pentair/Hayward controls, and a beautifully terraced side yard with irrigation and producing lemon, lime, and orange trees. There's space to gather, unwind, and truly enjoy Southern California living.  Inside, a remodeled open floor plan showcases European white oak engineered floors, porcelain tile, granite/quartz surfaces, and custom hickory cabinetry. The kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances, induction cooktop, convection oven, and reverse osmosis drinking water. Solar tubes flood key spaces with natural light, while instant hot-water circulation adds everyday convenience.  Major system upgrades provide confidence and efficiency: owned solar (11 panels + Tesla battery), dual-pane Milgard windows, updated insulation, newer roof, HVAC, water heater, and whole-house water softening and purification. Nearly $550,000 has been invested into thoughtful improvements over time.  Beyond the property lines, you're positioned within top-rated schools, moments to vibrant shops and restaurants, easy freeway access, and just minutes to world-famous Moonlight State Beach.  This is more than a home-it's a lifestyle upgrade in one of North County's most desirable coastal communities.
