About this home

First time on the market in nearly 30 years, this spacious Encinitas triplex presents an extremely rare investor or potential owner-user opportunity. Ideally located just one block from the beach and within walking distance of Downtown Encinitas, the property features three separate units totaling more than 2,600 square feet. Each unit has been thoughtfully upgraded or exceptionally well-maintained, featuring quality wood or tile flooring, skylights, private balconies, incredible outdoor spaces, and beautiful city views. Additional highlights include two large carports with parking for four vehicles, two dedicated laundry areas, and generous storage throughout, including a 120 square foot shed. With additional interior upgrade potential and possible ADU opportunities, the property offers meaningful long-term upside in one of North County San Diego’s most coveted coastal communities. Properties offering this combination of location, size, and versatility are incredibly difficult to find, making this an opportunity that investors and owner-users will not want to miss.

About

Cardiff

Cardiff, located between Encinitas Boulevard and Solana Beach, is a coastal and residential Encinitas neighborhood with ocean-view bluffs and a surf-forward main drag. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along San Elijo Avenue near Birmingham Drive, where sidewalk patios, coffee counters, and small boutiques meet the salt-air pace. Low-slung beach cottages mix with Spanish-style homes and newer contemporary builds stepping up the hillsides. Cardiff State Beach and Seaside Reef set the daily rhythm with sand, tidepools, and longboard lines. The Cardiff Kook statue adds a wink of local lore along the coastal corridor. Community pillars include Seaside Market, VG Donut & Bakery, and the Cardiff Farmers Market.
