Tucked away on a secluded street just steps from the legendary Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, 2020 Playa Rd is more than a home - it's a statement. A bold, single-level architectural masterpiece, this nearly 4,000-square-foot residence is a rare blend of art deco style, organic modernism, and bespoke craftsmanship. Step through striking steel-framed double doors, and you're immediately transported to a serene courtyard with twin fountains, which sets a cinematic tone - where water meets stone, where light plays against texture. Inside, the transformation is nothing short of breathtaking: European oak wood flooring juxtaposed with dramatic granite underfoot, soft-close custom cabinetry, veined quartz surfaces, and curated designer lighting that brings sculptural warmth to every space. The interiors embrace natural light as an art form, with atriums, an interior garden room, and soaring floor-to-ceiling windows dissolving boundaries between indoors and out. The interplay of greenery and architecture creates a living, breathing space that feels both elevated and grounding. Each of the three bedrooms and four full baths has been meticulously redesigned, with an emphasis on spa-like tranquility and rich materiality. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a private in-ground spa just beyond its doors and a fireplace that adds an intimate glow. Two additional fireplaces punctuate the home, layering warmth and ambiance. Set on 0.4 acres of professionally landscaped grounds, this home is as functional as it is beautiful - owned solar, EV charging, and whole-house audio ensure it's as future-forward as it is timeless. And when it's time to indulge, your golf cart is your passport - just one block away lies the award-winning golf courses, tennis, pickleball, pools, and spa at La Costa. For those who appreciate architecture that tells a story and design that elevates everyday living, 2020 Playa Rd is a singular masterpiece.
