Former model home and sales office for the development! Spectacular one-of-a-kind 180-degree hilltop view of La Costa and Encinitas. Currently one of only two single story four-bedroom homes available under two million in Encinitas (as of 8-7-25), and the only one with access to pools and tennis/pickleball courts (low $67 HOA!). Same owners for 36 years, and finally available! This house has over a 17% larger lot than the same model two doors down, which sold for $1,750,000 in March and does not have the open-fence panoramic view and added windows in the master bedroom. It is no wonder that the builder chose the absolute best lot in the development for their featured model home and sales office. This rare hilltop single-story house offers one of the best views in Encinitas: a 180-degree, open-fence panoramic view of La Costa's rolling hills. Situated on a larger-than-average lot with no neighbors in front or behind, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for decades and lightly lived in over the past three years. The listing broker, who also represented his grandparents on the original purchase in 1989, is intimately familiar with the property and has a large folder of receipts (including the maple flooring used), permits, warranties, and user guides, and may represent both buyer and seller. The sellers are flexible on timing as they are carefully selling the estate/furniture items too on weekends during open house. Interior upgrades include maple wood floors, dual-pane windows, expanded window design, upgraded kitchen countertops, central heat and A/C; the owner had a new heater moved to the attic so she wouldn't hear the fan noise, which had the additional benefit of opening up an extra closet in a hallway. There's also a permitted oversized patio cover which provides shade from the sunny backyard, with sunrise to the right, and sunset to the left . . . a gardeners dream. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet. The roof has been professionally redone (approx. $20,000) with new underlayment and tile replacements (extra tiles included). The home is located in one of Encinitas' most desirable neighborhoods, just minutes from beaches and award-winning schools such as Flora Vista Elementary and La Costa Canyon High. Don’t miss this rare opportunity in a prime Encinitas location, and one of the very few single story homes available in the area. No more stairs to climb; safer, and more convenient than a two story! And the fourth bedroom is a game changer for anyone with a home-based business.
