Property Description

Perched high above it all in the exclusive gated community of Sandalwood, this coastal Encinitas home lives like a private resort. With sweeping ocean views, lush gardens, and a sparkling pool and spa, every day here feels like a vacation. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac with a 3-car garage and large driveway, this solar-powered home is as functional as it is beautiful. The oversized lot, more than 15,000 square feet, offers room to relax, entertain, and play. Enjoy vibrant rose gardens, mature fruit trees, manicured landscaping, and a covered loggia perfect for al fresco dining. Inside, the open-concept living area is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. La Cantina doors in the family room open wide to bring in ocean breezes and connect to the expansive yard. The remodeled chef’s kitchen features custom finishes and flows beautifully for hosting or everyday comfort. The thoughtful floor plan includes a first-floor guest bedroom and a generous bonus room upstairs. The spacious primary suite offers a private balcony with panoramic ocean views, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Three additional bedrooms, a large front balcony, newly remodeled bathrooms, and new upstairs flooring round out the upper level. Additional upgrades include custom window coverings, a newer furnace and air conditioning, pool equipment and energy-efficient systems throughout. Close to top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and iconic North County beaches, this is a rare opportunity to own an oceanview home in Encinitas. Come experience it for yourself.
