It starts with a glass of rosé. The balcony faces west, the ocean stretches past the palms, and as the sun sets, the sky shifts from crisp blues and creamy whites to warm gold and deep cinnamon. It could be the French Riviera. Except you’re in Encinitas, at the top of a quiet, tree-lined community with a greenbelt behind you. Inside, this top-floor 2 bed, 2 bath home was reimagined with a designer’s eye: modern coastal ease, a touch of the Riviera, and materials that feel made by hand. The expanded kitchen centers on a quartzite island and warm-toned cabinetry, with linen-backed glass doors, a built-in banquette, all-new appliances, and hand-painted botanical tile with a soft, Old World glaze, finished in a scalloped edge beneath mother of pearl sconces. A refaced stone fireplace, wide-plank floors, and grasscloth accents carry the story through the living space, where a picture window frames the view. Both bedrooms have skylights and treetop views. One bath is wrapped in glazed checkerboard tile in layers of ocean blue, the other in bold cream and blue stripes, both finished in brass. A walk-in closet holds in-unit laundry, ductless mini-splits provide heating and cooling, and two garage spaces sit directly below, along with two storage units. The beach, the freeway, and the shops and cafés of Coast Highway 101 are all minutes away. The best time to see it is at sunset.
