    What's special

    • Multi-Million-Dollar Renovation Completed in 2025 • Panoramic Pacific Ocean & San Elijo Lagoon Views • 4,185 SF of Interior Living Space • 2,000+ SF of Outdoor Living Space • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living • 4 Sub-zero Wine Fridges • Italian Bertazoni Appliances • Cedarwood Hot Tub • One of Cardiff's Most Coveted Coastal Locations. If you know Cardiff, chances are you know this house. Set in one of Cardiff-by-the-Sea’s most recognizable and sought-after locations, 2516 San Elijo Avenue is the kind of home you’ve driven or walked past and wondered about. Perched above the San Elijo Lagoon with panoramic views stretching to the Pacific Ocean and coastline beyond, it occupies a position that is extraordinarily difficult to replicate. Recently transformed through a multi-million-dollar renovation, the residence has been completely reimagined to take full advantage of its setting. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass brings the lagoon, ocean, sunsets, and coastal landscape into nearly every major living space, while natural light and ocean breezes reinforce the effortless connection between indoors and out. More than 2,000 square feet of outdoor living creates an extension of the home itself, with two outdoor kitchens and two covered dining areas, an oversized cedarwood spa, offering multiple places to entertain, dine, and unwind against an exceptional coastal backdrop. Inside, bespoke craftsmanship and thoughtful contemporary design are found throughout. A sculptural statement staircase, refined finishes, integrated smart-home technology, and carefully considered details give the residence a sophisticated yet relaxed coastal character. Positioned at the pinnacle of the home on the top-floor entry level, the primary retreat captures some of the property’s most remarkable views. Beyond the residence itself, the location is what makes this opportunity so difficult to duplicate. Cardiff State Beach, beloved local restaurants and cafés, surf breaks, boutique shopping, and the trails of San Elijo Lagoon are all just moments away, placing some of the best of Cardiff living within easy reach. There are homes with exceptional views, homes with beautiful design, and homes in coveted locations. Rarely do all three come together like this. 2516 San Elijo Avenue is a rare opportunity to own one of Cardiff-by-the-Sea’s most distinctive residences—pairing an irreplaceable coastal setting, panoramic ocean and lagoon views, and a newly reimagined home in one of North County San Diego’s most sought-after locations.
