About this home
Great opportunity to purchase a duplex on a large 12,526SF lot that's centrally located to everything that Encinitas has to offer. One unit has 2BR/1BA. Second unit has 3BR/2BA and is leased until 2/1/2027 for $2835/mo. Per seller, a third unit can be added, but there may be other development scenarios available but subject to City of Encinitas approval. The 2 units are separated by each of their attached 1-car garages, lending to nice privacy for each occupant. Each unit also has large and private yard space. Ample off-street parking available as well.
Cardiff, located between Encinitas Boulevard and Solana Beach, is a coastal and residential Encinitas neighborhood with ocean-view bluffs and a surf-forward main drag. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along San Elijo Avenue near Birmingham Drive, where sidewalk patios, coffee counters, and small boutiques meet the salt-air pace. Low-slung beach cottages mix with Spanish-style homes and newer contemporary builds stepping up the hillsides. Cardiff State Beach and Seaside Reef set the daily rhythm with sand, tidepools, and longboard lines. The Cardiff Kook statue adds a wink of local lore along the coastal corridor. Community pillars include Seaside Market, VG Donut & Bakery, and the Cardiff Farmers Market.
