Tucked on the northerly end of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom house achieves a rare trifecta in this beach town: Privacy, security and ocean views. The three-level residence has the luxury of being peacefully gated away from the bustle while happily maintaining its community connection. It’s the sort of endless-summer enclave ideal for empty nesters and young families craving a North County neighborhood vibe. Or, consider it the perfect vacation home with its lock-and-go lifestyle. After all, it’s only a 10-minute stroll to Swamis and downtown Encinitas. And to the south, Seaside Market and Cardiff Reef are within walking/biking distance. Located in the Composer District, the mediterranean-inspired 4,039 sq ft house celebrates indoor-outdoor design with a very versatile veranda. Sure, you can entertain here. Or just kick back and savor your morning coffee with exceptional white-water views. Custom-built in 2006, the layout provides flow and connection between spaces—and the outdoors—with the kitchen, dining room and main living room boasting ocean views. At the same time, the importance of privacy is underscored with a self-contained second floor featuring a primary suite, a bedroom/office and laundry room. Meanwhile, on the lower floor, there’s a media/game room with a wet bar and two more large bedrooms each with their own bathroom. An attached two-car garage is oversized while a fully fenced backyard for play or pets can be maximized depending on buyer needs.
