This beautifully updated Mid-Century Modern townhome captures the timeless charm of the original La Costa lifestyle-once a favorite escape for Hollywood icons and the Rat Pack. Designed by famed architect Edward Fickett, a visionary who shaped post-war California Modernism with his iconic homes, resort properties, and award-winning mid-century designs, the residence reflects his signature blend of natural light, clean lines, and effortlessly livable style. Flooded with sun through tall windows and soaring ceilings, the home features thoughtful upgrades throughout, including luxury vinyl plank flooring, a recently remodeled kitchen, custom-designed bathrooms, and designer lighting-all while preserving the cool vintage character that makes the property truly unique. As an end unit, it offers exceptional privacy and serene views overlooking the tree-lined hills of La Costa. Enjoy morning coffee and sunrise on the quiet, low-maintenance front patio, or entertain in the private backyard or on the upstairs deck. The unit also sits next to the community pool and a large open green belt. Additional conveniences include a 1-car garage with onsite parking and storage. All just a short stroll to championship golf, great restaurants, and the world-class spa at the La Costa Resort. A rare opportunity to own a stylish, private retreat designed by one of California's most celebrated architects-perfectly situated close to beaches, shopping, and top-rated schools.
