View! Location! Single story! The builder clearly selected one of the best lots in the community for this former single story model home and sales office, which is one reason why it has not been on the market in 36 years! It has been proudly owned and meticulously maintained by a Purple Heart Medal awarded POW and WWII U.S. Air Force B-29 pilot and his wife, who cherished sitting on the back patio and taking in the spectacular sunrise each morning, and evening sunset. It has a one-of-a-kind 180-degree hilltop view of La Costa and Encinitas, and is currently one of only two single story four-bedroom homes available for under 2 million in Encinitas (as of 8-20-25), and the only one with access to pools and tennis/pickleball courts (low $67 HOA!). This house has over a 17% larger lot than the same model two doors down, which sold for $1,750,000 in March and which does not have the open-fence panoramic view and added windows in the master bedroom. Independent research shows that in San Diego, proximity/visibility of preserved open space is capitalized into home values' “greenbelt/open-space view” premiums are commonly in the high single digits to low-teens, with exceptional, permanent panoramas higher. Recent peer-reviewed work on scenic views reports 8–31% differentials for top-quality vistas versus otherwise similar non-view homes (sources: Trust for Public Land San Diego Report' City of San Diego Master Plan Property Value &' Open Space report' The Appraisal Journal on scenic non-ocean view premiums). The buyers of this house will have a unique advantage over most other homeowners in the area: single story, panoramic view, and enhanced privacy. Situated on a larger-than-average lot with no neighbors in front or behind, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same family for decades and lightly lived in over the past three years, as the grandmother/owner moved to a Temecula care facility when she turned 100 years old. The listing broker, who also represented his grandparents on their purchase in 1989, is intimately familiar with the property and has a large folder of receipts (including the maple flooring used), permits, warranties, and user guides, and may represent both buyer and seller. The sellers are flexible on timing as they are carefully selling the estate/furniture items too on weekends during open house Saturday and Sunday 11 to 4. Interior upgrades include maple wood floors, dual-pane windows, expanded window design, upgraded kitchen countertops, central heat and A/C' the owner had a new heater moved to the attic so she wouldn''t hear the fan noise, which had the additional benefit of opening up an extra closet in a hallway. There''s also a permitted oversized patio cover which provides shade from the sunny backyard, with sunrise to the right, and sunset to the left . . . a gardeners dream. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet. The roof has been professionally redone (approx. $20,000) with new underlayment and tile replacements (extra tiles included, and warranty). The home is located in one of Encinitas'' most desirable neighborhoods, just minutes from beaches and award-winning schools such as Flora Vista Elementary and La Costa Canyon High. The interior of the house is a perfect blank slate for buyers to customize to their taste' all wallpaper was removed, and much of the carpet was replaced with high-end wood floors, rather than today''s "luxury vinyl." The "popcorn ceilings" were also resurfaced, and made smooth. Don’t miss this rare opportunity in a prime Encinitas location, and one of the very few single story homes available in the area. No more stairs to climb' safer, and more convenient than a two story! And the fourth bedroom is a game changer for anyone with a home-based business.
