See Supp Below A permitted, 400 sq. ft. studio, with private exterior access, was added in 1984, offering a unique flexible space that can be used as a downstairs primary ensuite bedroom, as office/work space, a workout studio/gym, in-law suite, or a JADU (with proper approvals/permits/licensing). There are a bathroom and kitchenette in the studio addition, and a doorway with access to the main house through the family room. Main house access can easily be closed off if desired. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find an open loft that would be perfect for an office, study, or play area. Two bedrooms also greet you at the top of the stairs, as well as an expansive primary suite, complete with ensuite bathroom, balcony, and a separate deck. As you step outside, the backyard will be your canvas, providing endless possibilities for outdoor activities, relaxing, and entertaining. While this home does offer incredible potential and a unique opportunity for your personal touches, it does require extensive renovation work and is being sold as-is. Just minutes to breathtaking beaches, Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, restaurants, FoxPoint Farms, shops, and top-rated schools, don’t miss the opportunity to make this spectacular home in one of North County’s most sought-after areas, your own! Come fall in love and explore the possibilities while it is still available.
