Perched on one of Encinitas' most coveted streets just steps from the ocean, this architecturally striking 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence delivers 2,101 square feet of refined coastal living behind a private gated entry. Inside, vaulted ceilings with stunning wood-slat detailing set an immediate tone of warmth and sophistication. Wide-plank wood-like tile flows throughout, anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace wall - the living room's undeniable focal point. Cantina doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening to an expansive glass-railed deck where sweeping panoramic ocean views steal the show. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with white shaker cabinetry, a geometric tile backsplash, leathered quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances with a commanding Viking range flanked by a KitchenAid dishwasher - designed as much for entertaining as everyday living. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with vaulted ceilings, stunning ocean views even while lying in bed, cantina doors to bring the outdoors in, a free-standing soaking tub, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with dual heads and a waterfall fixture, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a beautifully finished bath with a farmhouse sink and glass-enclosed tiled shower. A 2-car garage, 2-car carport, solar panels, and tankless water heater complete this exceptional offering.
