Property Description

Set west of I-5 on one of the largest lots in Leucadia's coveted Bay Laurel neighborhood, this beautifully upgraded craftsman-style home blends classic charm with modern coastal comfort. Perfectly positioned at the end of a quiet, hilltop cul-de-sac—just blocks from iconic surf breaks at Grandview, Beacons, and Moonlight beaches, and mere steps from Leucadia Oaks Park—this west-facing home captures the essence of elevated, breezy living in one of North County's most sought-after locations. From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail is unmistakable. An extended paver driveway, fresh fencing, mature landscaping, and custom lighting lead to a bright, open interior where every surface has been thoughtfully reimagined with high-end, designer-selected finishes. The entry opens to a spacious formal dining room and a versatile home office just off the foyer. Framed by custom barn doors, it offers flexibility and can easily serve as a guest room or fifth bedroom. Step into the open-concept kitchen and living room, where oversized windows invite in natural light and a marble-accented fireplace anchors the space with timeless warmth. A single French door extends the living area outdoors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The remodeled chef's kitchen is both refined and functional, featuring a generous quartz island with a gas cooktop, double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry matched to the original shaker style. Designer pendant lighting brings a modern touch, while extra-long cabinetry around the refrigerator offers ample storage and discreet pantry space—complete with a whole-home water softener and reverse osmosis system for added comfort.Just off the kitchen, a sunny breakfast nook with coffered ceilings, built-ins, and a second French door creates a bright, welcoming space to start your day—with direct access to the backyard. Nearby, the laundry room doubles as a prep area, offering ample counter space, an additional sink, extensive cabinetry, and a convenient drop zone. Upstairs, soft wool carpeting leads to the expansive primary suite, which includes a private retreat—ideal for a home office, nursery, or conversion to a 4th bedroom. The ensuite bath feels like a spa, featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share an updated full bath in a separate guest area, ensuring privacy for visitors. The private backyard is designed for year-round enjoyment, with custom hardscape, tropical landscaping, and a built-in fire pit with curved seating—creating the perfect setting to relax or entertain. Additional upgrades include expanded pavers, new fencing and gates, upgraded irrigation, landscape lighting, enhanced drainage, fully owned solar with Tesla Powerwall, a 3-car tandem garage, new garage door and lift, custom window treatments, updated fixtures, refreshed cabinetry, and soundproofing in the home office. Located just minutes from top-rated schools, Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, the San Diego Botanic Garden, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Leucadia, this is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained home in one of North County's most walkable and desirable coastal communities. A true blend of timeless design and modern ease—this is coastal living at its best.

Exceptional Realtors

There are a number of solid and competent realtors that can help you navigate the paperwork needed to either close a sale or negotiate a purchase of a home. The number of exceptional realtors who can develop a effective markeketing plan based on research, investment and strength of intellect and character are few and hard to find. Patrick and Ruby Raymond are those exceptional realtors. In addition, the other members of their team were each exceptional and epitomize professionalism. When Patrick first approached me, he stated a price than our home would generate that exceeded what I thought the market would bear. Then he proceeded to explain how this sale price could happen. First, he knew our neighborhood and its strength and weaknesses regarding its saleability. Next, he revealed the investments he had made to obtain a data base of pre-qualified buyers from throughout our state and around the country. Finally, Patrick and Ruby provided an in depth strategy on how to stage our home, establish timelines, and present tools they would use to sell the home. Some of their strategies were known but not always followed by other realtors, and additional strategies were proprietary to the Raymond team. The result was that we received three offers each either meeting of exceeding what Patrick and Ruby first told us our home could sell for. Throughout the process they both remained calm and focused even when little hickups occurred. It was a learning experience for us when we had questions about staging the home I found out later from the buyers how much Rubys’ strategies influenced their purchasing decision. Needless to say it is without any reservations that we would recommend the Raymond team whether you are purchasing or selling a home. P.S. They even gave us great input on strategies on how to buy our current home in a very competitive market.

Transparent, Reliable & Honest

Ruby was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process, she really cared about us, understood our needs. Ruby was always available to answer our questions. Ruby really is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She scheduled the inspection and pest company, made it so easy to get everything done. She was honest and forthright- no games. Would use her again tomorrow if we were to buy or sell in the area.
