Fall in love with the Encinitas lifestyle in this custom-designed, light-filled coastal retreat nestled in the coveted Cantebria community. Thoughtfully reimagined with indoor-outdoor living in mind, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home blends elevated design, high-end finishes, and the laid-back charm that makes Encinitas so special. Flooded with natural light from three skylights and expansive windows, the home features soaring ceilings, wide-plank LVP flooring, and La Cantina-style accordion doors that open to a private backyard oasis—complete with lush lawn, mature palms, and a cedar barrel sauna under the stars. The open-concept kitchen is a showpiece: quartz waterfall island, modern shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a custom dry bar perfect for entertaining. With one bedroom and full bath downstairs, and three more bedrooms—including a spacious primary suite—upstairs, the layout offers flexibility for families, guests, or intergenerational living. Just steps from the community pool, spa, and tennis/pickleball courts, and only minutes to local shops, dining, top-rated schools, and downtown Encinitas. Moonlight Beach is just 10 minutes away—making sunset surf sessions and sandy toes a part of your everyday rhythm. In a neighborhood known for its warmth and walkability, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly turn-key home in one of North County’s most desirable enclaves.
