Property Description

First time on the market since 1980, this property is a true coastal gem offering unobstructed ocean views between Swami's Beach and San Elijo State Beach. Set on a 10,000 sq. ft. R-11 zoned lot, the estate provides exceptional flexibility-currently a duplex but easily convertible to a single-family residence or developed into multiple units with ADUs. The main home boasts 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 5,072 sq. ft., while the guest house adds 1 bed, 1 bath, and a full kitchen, perfect for visitors or rental income. With garage space for 4 cars plus driveways accommodating 6-7 more, parking is never an issue. This property combines prime location, panoramic views, and rare development potential, making it a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create your dream Cardiff estate.
