Mid-Century Retreat in the Heart of Encinitas

Featured on Dwell+ (March 2025), this thoughtfully renovated mid-century modern home is tucked into the heart of downtown Encinitas. Bathed in natural light, the space showcases preserved mid-century details, stunning hardwood floors, and a beautiful wood-paneled ceiling, with ocean views from west-facing windows that glow at sunset.

The private guest home has its own entrance with no shared spaces, offering complete privacy. While we live on the property above, the guest home is fully separate and designed for a peaceful, independent stay.

The recently remodeled kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials, featuring brand-new appliances and generous storage. Enjoy breakfast on your private patio, or unwind on the front porch as the sun sets over the Pacific.

Located on a quiet street just steps from the Coastal Rail Trail, the home is within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, coffee spots, yoga studios, parks, and the Encinitas Public Library. Moonlight Beach is just half a mile away, and the world-famous surf break at Swami’s Beach is one mile north.

Public transportation by bus or train is only a block away, making it easy to explore the area. As with many coastal homes in Encinitas, train activity can be heard, adding to the authentic seaside charm and convenient location.

Enjoy nearby farmers markets on Saturdays at MiraCosta College and Sundays at Paul Ecke Elementary School. Take a stroll through the beautiful Self-Realization Fellowship gardens, just a short walk away, or visit the San Diego Botanic Garden, a quick drive from the home.

The Del Mar Fairgrounds, located five miles south, hosts the San Diego County Fair in summer, year-round concerts at The Sound, and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club races from July through September.

Whether you’re here for the beach, design, or walkable coastal living, this mid-century gem offers a relaxed and stylish Encinitas retreat.
