This amazing home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in San Diego…Cardiff by the Sea. This home, located in the Composer District of Cardiff, has 5 bedrooms plus an office and a spacious open concept. The house maintains the original Mediterranean charm on the outside and a fully remodeled modern look on the inside. As you walk in the front door, you'll find soaring ceilings, wood floors, archways, and massive windows that fill the space with natural light. The main level includes a spacious office with a fireplace, a dining room (currently a music space), a wine/coffee bar area, a large bedroom, and an incredible kitchen overlooking the living room. The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, quartz countertops, a pantry, and a massive center island with seating for a crowd. Just steps away, the low-maintenance backyard is an entertainer's dream, complete with a stunning outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, dining area, custom playhouse, and a pergola with a cozy fireplace and seating. At the top of the curved staircase, you can retreat to your primary bedroom suite, which boasts two walk-in closets and a fireplace. The ensuite has a free-standing soaking tub, a steam shower, and custom tile work. Be sure to check out the two garages: a two-car garage equipped with a Tesla charging station and ample storage, and a single-car garage with wall-to-wall storage (ideal for a gym). An automatic gate at the driveway also secures a spacious courtyard and driveway. What a location! This Cardiff sanctuary is zoned for top-ranked schools and you'll be around the corner from Encinitas Community Park (dog park, walking trails, skate park, and playground). Some of the best beaches & surf breaks in Southern California are just a few minutes from your front door, and numerous shops and restaurants are a 10-minute walk away. This is a rare find in Cardiff by the Sea!
