First time available in 36 years! Spectacular 180-degree panoramic view of Encinitas and La Costa! The only 4-bedroom single story house in coveted Village Park . . . and only one under $2,630,000 in Encinitas (MLS 11-11-25). Motivated but patient sellers. Hurry before the broker (a family member) takes it off the MLS during the holidays for remodeling/freshening, then relists in Spring/early Summer peak selling season. Buy now, and choose your own carpet or more real wood floors, colors, and fixtures! Open house Saturday and Sunday 11 to 3. With two Fed rate cuts the past two months, spurring demand and refinance opportunities, it's a great time to buy during off-peak Fall season (the lowest rates in 3 years; CNBC). Be in before the holidays and beat the selling season competition! This was the single story model home and sales office for Fieldstone homebuilders, on the best view lot, and no neighbors in front or behind. Gorgeous private canyon and sweeping view provide privacy, yet the home qualifies for regular insurance with multiple options. The 4th bedroom makes a great office. Priced below appraisal (was in escrow but buyers couldn't perform). Zillow range is $1.63M to $1.80M, and they don't add value/wow factor of the view. The home has over a 17% larger lot than the same model two doors down, which sold for $1,750,000 and doesn't have open-fence panoramic views and extra windows. The Realtor Association forecasts 2026 prices to rise 4% (possibly more in Encinitas), enabling 5.5 million more buyers and spurring refinancing opportunities. The HOA is a low $74 per month with pools, pickleball, and tennis. Research shows that in San Diego, views of preserved open space are capitalized into home values; open-space view premiums are in the high single digits to low-teens, with exceptional panoramas higher. Research on scenic views reports 8 to 31% differentials for top-quality vistas versus otherwise similar non-view homes (source: Trust for Public Land SD Report; SD Master Plan Property Value & Open Space report). You will have an advantage over most homeowners in the area: single story, 4 bedrooms, panoramic view, low HOA, and enhanced privacy. And single story homes are safer; CDC studies show that falls on stairs are a leading cause of injuries, especially for older adults and children, and falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for adults over 65. Also, single story homes are more efficient (i.e., heat rises upstairs, leaving it hot in warm months, and the downstairs cold in winter). Situated on a larger-than-average lot, this home has been lovingly maintained and lightly lived in the past 3 years. The listing broker has a folder of receipts (including the maple flooring used), permits, warranties, and an inspection report, all of which provide an extra level of transparency and confidence for the buyer of this home. Upgrades include maple wood floors, dual-pane windows, additional windows, upgraded kitchen countertops, central heat and A/C; a new heater was installed in the attic to make the home more quiet, which has the added benefit of opening up an extra closet. There's also an oversized patio cover which provides shade from the sunny backyard, a gardeners dream. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet. The flat cement tile roof has been professionally redone (approx. $20,000) with new underlayment and tile replacements (extra tiles included). The home is located in one of Encinitas' most desirable neighborhoods, just minutes from beaches and award-winning schools such as Flora Vista Elementary (3 minute walk) and La Costa Canyon High. The interior of the house is a blank slate for buyers to customize; wallpaper was removed, and much of the carpet was replaced with high-end wood floors, rather than today's "luxury vinyl"/plastic. The popcorn ceilings were resurfaced. No more stairs to climb! And the 4th bedroom is a game changer for anyone with a home-based business and/or big family.
