Welcome to 815 Hermes Avenue, a classic 1957 beach cottage tucked just two blocks east of the Pacific Coast Highway in the heart of Leucadia. Set along an idyllic, tree-lined cul-de-sac, this quiet stretch of Hermes Avenue captures the laid-back coastal charm that makes Encinitas so special. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,412 square feet of living space, a two-car garage, and sits on a flat and usable 0.21-acre lot — presenting endless potential to restore, reimagine, or expand. Enjoy the ultimate walkable lifestyle. Stroll to Beacons Beach at Leucadia State Park for sunset surf sessions, morning walks, or sandy afternoons. You’re also moments from beloved local restaurants, coffee shops, and the recently opened Chick & Hawk, all just minutes from your front door. Offered as an as-is estate sale, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic Leucadia on a generous lot in one of North County’s most desirable coastal neighborhoods.
