401 Villa Blanca Ct, Encinitas, CA 92024

“Encinitas Coastal Living :: Private Pocket, 1 Mile to Beach, Glowed-Up Inside and Out” WHAT WE LOVE: Location is everything — and here, you’re steps from the coast yet tucked inside the rare, private enclave of Pelican Ridge with only a handful of neighbors. That means ocean-close without the chaos, a safe street where kids can play, hang out at the private park and enjoy a real sense of neighborhood in a coastal community. Add to that a newly redefined outdoor space with turf, patio, bistro lights, planter boxes and new fences .. and you’ve got the kind of indoor-outdoor lifestyle that makes Encinitas living so coveted. Inside, upgrades flow through every room, blending modern comfort with everyday convenience and drenched in windowed-walls of natural light. WHAT WE LOVE (CONT…): 401 Villa Blanca delivers the rare mix of coastal proximity and privacy. Outside, the sellers went all in: a six-foot privacy fence creates a brand-new side yard, with turf, paver patio, raised planter boxes, landscaping, and café lights under a canopy of mature foilage — a space to entertain, play, or just breathe in the ocean air. Inside, wide-plank, wood-toned dark anchors an open layout where the dining and family rooms connect seamlessly to the kitchen. Quartz counters, stainless appliances, fresh hardware, and recessed lighting give it a modern feel, while a fireplace and two-story entry add warmth and welcomed, first impression kind of drama. A versatile bonus room downstairs with custom wainscoting and wall detail is ideal for an office, guest space, or playroom, paired with a full laundry, powder bath, and ample storage. Upstairs, natural light pours through the north-facing, clerestory windows in the entertainng areas while the vaulted ceilings create signature in all four of the upstairs bedrooms. Three secondary bedrooms offer volume, style and functional storage, while the primary retreat shines with a wall of windows all its own, vaulted ceilings, dual vanity, custom tile and glass shower, wainscoted water closet, and a walk-in closet with built-ins. Ceiling fans in every room and a brand-new HVAC system complete the move-in ready package. Living here means having Encinitas beaches, dining, and community energy at your fingertips — but with the safety, privacy, and neighborly vibe of a hidden pocket you won’t find anywhere else this close to the coast.
