Live in the heart of Encinitas in this classic mid-century beach home, built in 1936 and full of charm. Just steps from the sand and downtown, you’ll enjoy... walkable access to restaurants, coffee shops, boutique shops, and the train station.

Relax in the spacious front yard behind the white picket fence, or retreat to the private fenced backyard with mature landscaping, dining space, and string lighting—perfect for outdoor evenings.
Inside, the home features two bedrooms and one bathroom. The main bedroom includes a queen bed, closet space, and additional storage. The second bedroom, a bright sunroom conversion, also fits a queen bed and dresser with a door for privacy. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, gas range, dishware, and cookware, while the dining area seats four. Laundry is available with a washer and dryer on site.
Two reserved off-street parking spaces provide convenience, especially during the summer season.
