Property description
Coastal Single-Story Gem in Leucadia Just steps from Grandview, Beacons, and Moonlight Beach—and adjacent to Leucadia Oaks Park—this beautifully updated single-level home blends relaxed coastal charm with modern comfort. An airy open floor plan connects the great room, dining area, and chef’s kitchen, where a granite island, white cabinetry, gas range, and new dishwasher offer both style and function. Glass doors lead to a private tropical retreat with pool, spa, outdoor shower, and spacious patio—ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The serene primary suite features backyard views, a sunny flex space for office or lounge, a spa-like bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Three additional rooms—one perfect as an office or fourth bedroom—offer versatility and space. Additional highlights include surround sound, owned solar, a two-car garage with EV charger, and a location near top-rated schools. Moments from Encinitas’ beaches, shops, and restaurants, this thoughtfully designed home offers effortless living in one of North County’s most desirable neighborhoods.
