This custom ocean-view home, originally built by a respected builder as his personal residence, is tucked at the end of one of Leucadia’s most private cul-de-sacs. Nestled on an expansive 12,400 SF lot, this hidden retreat offers 4 bedrooms plus an office/den, providing space and privacy rarely found in coastal Encinitas. With its ocean breezes and radiant sunsets, the residence is designed for warmth, flow, and everyday functionality. At the heart of the home, a chef-inspired entertainer’s kitchen and open great room create a natural gathering space, complete with premium finishes, generous counter space, and seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Upstairs, the ocean-view deck captures sweeping sunsets-an inviting retreat for morning coffee or evening happy hour. The expansive backyard offers endless potential to create your dream outdoor oasis-whether a pool, garden, or full entertainer’s paradise. Multiple outdoor areas, from the tranquil fountain courtyard to the sunlit rear yard, make this home feel like a true coastal sanctuary. Just moments from Leucadia’s iconic surf breaks, charming coffee shops, the weekly farmers market, and boutique dining, 372 Hillcrest Scenic Lane delivers the ultimate Encinitas coastal experience-a peaceful hideaway that’s close to everything, yet feels worlds away.
