First time available in 36 years, and the only single story 4-bedroom available in highly coveted Village Park, and the only 4-bedroom single story house in Encinitas for under $2,630,000 (MLS 10-30-25). With two Fed rate cuts the past two months, including October 29th, it’s a great time to buy . . . “the lowest rates in three years” (CNBC). Be in before the holidays, and beat the selling season competition. Open house is this Saturday and Sunday 11 to 3. This was the model home and sales office for Fieldstone homebuilders, on the best view lot, and no neighbors in front or behind. Stunning 180-degree hilltop view of La Costa! The 4th bedroom makes a great office or den. Priced below appraisal (was in escrow but 2 buyers couldn’t perform). The home has over a 17% larger lot than the same model two doors down, which sold for $1,750,000 and doesn’t have the open-fence panoramic view and added windows. The Realtor Association forecasts 2026 prices to rise 4% (possibly more in Encinitas), enabling 5.5 million more buyers and spurring long-awaited refinancing opportunities. This home adjoins protected space yet has not required CA Fair Plan fire insurance. The HOA is a low $74 per month with pools, pickleball, and tennis courts. Research shows that in San Diego, views of preserved open space are capitalized into home values; open-space view premiums are commonly in the high single digits to low-teens, with exceptional panoramas higher. Recent research on scenic views reports 8–31% differentials for top-quality vistas versus otherwise similar non-view homes (source: Trust for Public Land San Diego Report; San Diego Master Plan Property Value & Open Space report). The buyers of this house will have a unique advantage over most other homeowners in the area: single story, 4 bedrooms, panoramic view, low HOA, and enhanced privacy. And single story homes are safer; CDC studies show that falls on stairs are a leading cause of injuries, especially for older adults and children, and falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for adults over 65. Also, single story homes are more efficient (i.e., heat rises upstairs, leaving it hot in warm months, and the downstairs cold in winter). Situated on a larger-than-average lot, this home has been lovingly maintained and lightly lived in the past 3 years. The listing broker has a folder of receipts (including the maple flooring used), permits, warranties, an inspection report, and user guides, all of which can provide an extra level of transparency and confidence for the buyer of this gorgeous home. Upgrades include maple wood floors, dual-pane windows, additional windows, upgraded kitchen countertops, central heat and A/C; a new heater was installed in the attic to make the home more quiet, which has the added benefit of opening up an extra closet. There’s also a permitted oversized patio cover which provides shade from the sunny backyard, a gardeners dream. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet. The flat cement tile roof has been professionally redone (approx. $20,000) with new underlayment and tile replacements (extra tiles included). The home is located in one of Encinitas’ most desirable neighborhoods, just minutes from beaches and award-winning schools such as Flora Vista Elementary (3 minute walk) and La Costa Canyon High. The interior of the house is a blank slate for buyers to customize; 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 resurfaced. No more stairs to climb! And the 4th bedroom is a game changer for anyone with a home-based business and/or big family. For details, contact the listing broker for receipts, warranties, inspection report, etc. Note: hurry before broker takes it off the MLS in late November / early December for minor updating (new carpet or more wood floors, paint, etc.), then relists in spring/early summer selling season.
