Perfectly nestled along the ocean's edge in the heart of Encinitas located 1/2 a block away from beach access at the famous D Street Beach, this legacy coastal residence is offered for the first time on the market. Spanning 2,531 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths, the seaside retreat is filled with natural light and enhanced by panoramic Pacific-facing exposure that frames sweeping ocean views. Every moment unfolds like a living canvas, from surfers gliding across the waves to the sky's breathtaking transformation at sunset. The oceanfront backyard transcends outdoor living, offering a serene retreat for both entertaining and peaceful solitude, where ocean breezes and the rhythmic sounds of the Pacific set a tone of effortless calm. Just steps from world-class surf spots and beaches, and within walking distance to Encinitas' best restaurants, shops, and everything the iconic Highway 101 has to offer, this oceanfront haven offers an unbeatable location. The property also features a two-car garage, plenty of storage and additional driveway parking. A truly rare opportunity, this coastal home captures timeless appeal and invites a life defined by the very best of Encinitas.
