1953 Crest Drive

Secluded above a canyon at the end of a private cul-de-sac street in Encinitas, this custom contemporary home is ideally positioned to take advantage of 180o panoramic views. Dramatic vistas of rugged canyons, rolling hills and twinkling lights are enjoyed from indoor and outdoor living areas, including a spacious paver-finished rear patio and numerous indoor rooms that feature oversized picture windows. Custom glass entry doors provide a sleek and modern introduction to the single-level design, where high ceilings, clerestory windows, mitered windows and wood flooring combine to create a genuinely impressive atmosphere. A granite-framed fireplace warms the living room, an office awaits beyond interior French doors, and the dining room is large enough to accommodate memorable gatherings. Another fireplace and built-ins are featured in the family room, and an island kitchen with bar-height counter presents a walk-in pantry, granite countertops, a nook and stainless steel appliances including a built-in refrigerator. Sited on grounds that encompass nearly .87 acres, the three-bedroom, two- and one-half-bath home of approx. 3,052 s.f. features central AC, motorized window shades, a security system, drought-tolerant landscaping and a three-car garage.
