Tucked on the northerly end of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom house achieves a rare trifecta in this beach town: Privacy, security and ocean views. The three-level residence has the luxury of being peacefully gated away from the bustle while happily maintaining its community connection. It's the sort of endless-summer enclave ideal for empty nesters and young families craving a North County neighborhood vibe. Or, consider it the perfect vacation home with its lock-and-go lifestyle. After all, it's only a 10-minute stroll to Swamis and downtown Encinitas. And to the south, Seaside Market and Cardiff Reef are within walking/biking distance. Located in the Composer District, the mediterranean-inspired 4,039 sq ft house celebrates indoor-outdoor design with a very versatile veranda. Sure, you can entertain here. Or just kick back and savor your morning coffee with exceptional white-water views. Custom-built in 2006, the layout provides flow and connection between spaces--and the outdoors--with the kitchen, dining room and main living room boasting ocean views. At the same time, the importance of privacy is underscored with a self-contained second floor featuring a primary suite, a bedroom/office and laundry room. Meanwhile, on the lower floor, there's a media/game room with a wet bar and two more large bedrooms each with their own bathroom. An attached two-car garage is oversized while a fully fenced backyard for play or pets can be maximized depending on buyer needs.
