Mesmerizing from the moment you walk through the door of this remodeled resort-style property in the gated Westcliffe community. Situated on the most PREMIUM .41 acre LOT lot in the neighborhood & tucked away from sight down a long private drive, this home has sense of serenity and naturalism like no other. There's no through traffic, only trees, green hilly views & nature. ~ The Exterior: Embraced by a semi-circular backdrop of San Elijo hills that light up with intense color at sunset, the backyard is an entertainer's oasis that feels like the Wailea resort! The long driveway not only keeps the home private but has parking for 8-10 cars. The landscaping offers extraordinary resort-style living with waterfalls splashing over granite boulders into a heated pool with waterslide, stream & hidden grotto/cave with jetted spa. Relax by the pool as deer pass by the hiking trail at dusk. A detached pool casita welcomes guests with its own bedroom/bath. ~ The Interior: Upon entry, a large arched living room window frames lively splashing hillside waterfalls! The kitchen has been recently modernized with white solid wooden shaker cabinetry, a new dine-on island for 4-6, Carrera Imperial quartz counters & an elegant backsplash reaching to ceiling. Serena & Lily chandeliers are trimmed in capiz shell. A floor to ceiling fireplace has also had a makeover with sparkling subway legerstone and and a custom rustic barnwood mantle. The primary bathroom is recently modernized with porcelain tiled flooring, harbor grey quartz counters and a vanity imbued with a mosaic of river rock. The flooring throughout is plank LVP in a french oak tone. ~ The Ideal Layout: A versatile downstairs bonus room (not counted in the 6 bedrooms) can be used as a gym, office or bedroom. It has french doors leading out to the pool area. Also downstairs is a spacious ensuite bedroom. A generous upstairs loft can serve as a media room or play area. The loft overlooks an airy 2 story dining room. The primary suite has its own bonus room facing the hillside waterfalls, perfect for nursery, music room, gym or reading room. Upstairs, there is also a "jack-n-jill" bedroom pair with separate vanity areas, as well as an ensuite guest room overlooking the front. ~Other Bonuses: -A SunPower by Tesla roof-mounted 13.5KW solar system saves immensely on energy bills. Most are negative/a credit. - A BRAND NEW 2-zone Air Conditioning system was just installed. ~ The Quaint Area: The town of San Elijo hills is just adjacent to La Costa and is a destination in itself, with adorable town square, grassy central park with fountains, boutiques, restaurants, bike shops and hiking/biking trails all around. Beaches of Encinitas and Carlsbad are close by. Districted for the highly rated San Marcos High, and with the middle school right across Rancho Santa Fe Rd, this home, and this town have ALL you need for a beautiful life.
