Tucked in the heart of Avocado Acres and just 1 mile to the beach, this thoughtfully transformed beach bungalow lives like a private coastal compound. Behind the automatic gate, you’ll find a fully enclosed, low-maintenance oasis designed for effortless outdoor living. A wraparound Cali Bamboo deck stretching from the backyard to the front, sets the stage for morning coffee with butterflies and hummingbirds. The oversized (just under 9,000sf) lot is perfect for golden-hour gatherings and memorable celebrations. The yard has been thoughtfully designed to be intentionally low-maintenance. It is complete with tropical landscape, tranquil pond, turf you never have to mow, river rock, and landscape lighting create a serene retreat that feels worlds away, yet sits just minutes from the beach, restaurants, and all that Encinitas is known for. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully appointed and includes custom details throughout. Arched details and statement wallpaper add character and purpose. Open the french doors off of both the living area and kitchen for the ideal indoor outdoor space. The kitchen features upgraded stainless steel appliances with views of your tropical oasis right outside the window. The primary features a custom walk-in closet with convenient laundry access and green tropical views that make each morning feel like a getaway. The fully finished and insulated garage, offers bonus space that could be for storage, hobbies, or even a creative studio. A dedicated surfboard storage room and built-in outdoor kitchen further enhance the home’s beach-centric lifestyle. With fully PAID solar installed in 2022, drip irrigation, a private cul-de-sac feel thanks to the permanent street barricade, and secure parking inside the gate, this property offers peace of mind, privacy, and smart sustainability. Want to take advantage of the oversized lot but maybe you need a little more space. There is plenty of room for potential to add an ADU, build up and capture the ocean views or expand as the possibilities are endless. You can always change the footprint but you can never change the location. Whether hosting summer taco parties or simply soaking in the quiet with the doors wide open. This is a rare opportunity to blend charm, intention, and coastal lifestyle and have your very own beach retreat.
