Sweeping ocean view Town home in Coast Point. Exceptional floor plan. Private end unit with large fenced patio. Blocks to beach, Orpheus Park and Paul Ecke Elementary. All baths and kitchen have been updated. Large, private Whimsical patio off master suite to enjoy outdoor living. Delightful deck off living area to enjoy ocean views and SoCal living at its best! Coast Point, a Small enclave of homes offering quiet beach community lifestyle. . This location is the best!!!. .. .away from hustle but amazingly close to the essentials of beach living. The City of Encinitas has approved an underpass on Vulcan across from the Paul Ecke Elementary School which will create safe passage under rail tracks to PCH and beach (drawings appear similar to the structure at Santa Fe and San Elijo which goes under rail and permits safe travel for pedestrian and cyclists). Remember Farmers Market on Sundays at the Paul Ecke parking lot. The surrounding restaurants are an exceptional treat. .. .. close and no need for a car. Not to mention (again!) Orpheus Park is a few feet away so lots of room to play, run and enjoy (your pets will thank you!). End unit permits privacy; your only neighbor you care about is that blue, sparkling Pacific Ocean in the distance. .
