Nothing else as private & with such a degree of "over the top" landscaping exists… so don’t miss seeing this serene, naturalistic & freshly remodeled property that feels like your very own custom estate tucked within the gated WestCliffe community. ~ The Exterior: Embraced by a semi-circlular backdrop of picturesque/undeveloped San Elijo hills that glow with a golden hue at dusk, this property sits on almost half an acre, offering an extraordinary sense of naturalism. Originating this sense of serenity is a private, off street easement driveway which ends at the base of a hiking trail. This long driveway hides the residence from street view and offers privacy & seclusion unlike any other home in the neighborhood. The craftsman residence greets guests with a concrete fountain overflowing with succulents & a cozy front porch and a walled in off street grassy area. The back landscaping offers resort style living with 6 waterfalls splashing into a pool with a waterslide, stream, hidden grotto and jetted spa. An embankment of giant boulders around a 2-ton ‘table-rock’ lends further natural beauty. Flagstone walkways encircle the entire backyard, and a detached pool casita welcomes guests with its own bedroom/bath. ~ The Interior "Eye Candy": Upon entry, a large arched living room window frames lively splashing hillside waterfalls. It’s like watching the nature channel every time you walk through your front door. The kitchen has been recently modernized with white solid wooden shaker cabinetry, a new dine-on island for 4-6, and Carrera Imperial quartz counters reaching to ceiling. Serena & Lily chandeliers trimmed in capiz shell and gold coordinate with the quarztite gold/grey tonality. A floor to ceiling fireplace has also had a makeover with sparkling subway legerstone and a distressed rustic wood mantle. The primary bathroom is recently modernized with porcelain tiled flooring, harbor grey quartz counters and a vanity area imbued with a mosaic of river rock. The flooring throughout is plank LVP in a french oak tone. ~ The Ideal Layout: A versatile downstairs bonus room can be used as a gym, office or bedroom. Also downstairs is a full ensuite bedroom. A very spacious upstairs loft can be personalized into a media room for kids/teens or another generous relaxation area. The loft overlooks an airy 2 story dining room. The primary suite has its own bonus room facing the hillside waterfalls, perfect for nursery, music room, gym or second office. Upstairs, there is also a "jack-n-jill" bedroom pair as well as an ensuite guest room overlooking the front. ~Other Bonuses: -A roof-mounted paid-for 13.5KW solar system will save on energy bills. This will be FULLY paid off at closing – A BRAND NEW 2-zone Air Conditioning system was just installed. ~ The Quaint Area: The town of San Elijo hills is just adjacent to La Costa and is a destination in itself, with adorable town square, grassy central park with fountains, boutiques, restaurants, bike shops and a do-it-yourself crafting store for kids and adults. Beaches of Encinitas and Carlsbad are close by. Districted for the highly rated San Marcos High, this home, and this town have ALL you need for a happy, fulfilling family life.
