Quintessential beach cottage in the heart of Encinitas’ most sought-after neighborhood. This adorable house and detached ADU offer beach living at its finest. Completely renovated in 2018, both residences feature stylish interiors with high-end finishes, open living spaces, and thoughtfully designed updates. Enjoy a serene front porch of the main house where you can hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze. This home is currently living as a 2 bedroom/2 bath and has an office along with a family room that could easily be turned into additional bedrooms if needed.
