Welcome to your coastal escape in the heart of Cardiff-by-the-Sea! Just 1 mile from the beach and Coast Hwy 101, this updated single-story twin home blends beachside charm with smart investment potential. This 2-bed, 1-bath home features an open layout filled with natural light, luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz kitchen counters, updated sink and faucet, modern ceiling fans, a remodeled bathroom, and an automated garage door. The kitchen opens to a bartop dining area, while the backyard is ideal for entertaining with a firepit, tiered seating, and drought-tolerant landscaping. The front yard features fresh sod and sprinkler irrigation. One unique value-add: many neighbors have converted the attached 1-car garage into a third bedroom and second bathroom-turning this into a true 3-bed, 2-bath home and significantly increasing equity or rental potential. Additional perks: indoor laundry, driveway + street parking, and no HOA. Enjoy walkability to Encinitas Community Park, Bobby Riggs Pickleball Club, top schools, and proximity to downtown Encinitas, Cardiff Plaza, great restaurants, and shopping. Easy access to the 5 Freeway and all of North County. With $4M in city-funded upgrades (bike paths, sidewalks, and new paving), this home delivers lifestyle, location, and long-term upside in one of San Diego's most beloved coastal communities.
