From the moment you step into this peaceful tropical oasis nestled into a quiet, private enclave in Cardiff by the Sea, you can breathe a sigh of relief to be home. Surprisingly this beautiful retreat is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the Southern California lifestyle and is located just a couple minutes off the I-5 freeway. If that’s not enough, you have the charming Cardiff town center with its shops, restaurants and well know Seaside Market all at your finger tips. 5 minutes away is the thriving beach town of Encinitas and Moonlight Beach. When you enter this lovely retreat with its soaring ceiling, gourmet kitchen, game room, pool, spa, cascading water feature and large private tropical backyard you feel like you have escaped. There is a full bedroom (currently configured as an office/study) and full bathroom on the main floor. The main floor of this beautiful home with its extensive game room has been thoughtfully remodeled. The home features 10.5KW of owned solar installed in 2020, with NET metering the annual true up averages less than $1000. There is even an ocean view from the upper portion of the expansive rear lot, just waiting for your inspiration.
