Property Description
Welcome to this Cardiff coastal retreat, set on a generous lot offering exceptional upside for both move-in-ready buyers and investors seeking to make the property their own. Ideally located just over the hill from Cardiff State Beach, this beautifully maintained home blends comfort, functionality, and outdoor serenity. This property presents a rare opportunity to enjoy coastal living today with room to enhance and build for tomorrow. Upon entry, the home features an upgraded kitchen with granite countertops, newer appliances, and open archways that create seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The home offers three bedrooms and two updated full bathrooms. Unique tile-and-wood flooring throughout the main living areas adds character and warmth, while newer French windows throughout invite natural light and coastal breezes. The outdoor spaces are a true highlight. Both the front and backyards are meticulously landscaped, offering multiple areas for relaxation and entertaining. The low-maintenance, water-efficient desert scape front yard brings great curb appeal, while the backyard features a relaxing environment with a built-in waterfall fountain, a pergola, a gazebo, turf, and a retaining wall. A thoughtfully designed erosion-controlled path up the hill leads to a flat upper yard extra space with partial ocean and lagoon views of San Elijo Lagoon and Seaside State Beach.
