Among the remaining large parcels in Olde Encinitas, few offer such majestic and sweeping ocean views as this exceptional .95 acre paradise. Truly amazing potential lies within the flat, square, highly usable, free-standing nature of this lot; with ground-level ocean views, and coveted location, south of Sante Fe, on the west side of Crest Drive. Welcome to 1356 Crest Drive, a unique 1950’s built home with mid-century style accents, and architecture designed to blend with its surroundings. Come tour this quintessential North County estate, where the coastal topography crests to its peak, offering sweeping ocean views to the west, and stunning backcountry views to the east. Breathtaking sunrises and golden sunsets color this old-timey street with sideways lighting that filters through Torrey Pines, Palms, and lush vegetation. First time on market in over 35 years, this property checks every box for those looking to develop a spectacular residence. While utility may be found in preserving some or all of the home’s existing structure, “forever-home” seekers and developers alike will be quick to appreciate the flat and square topography, perfect for a main home, guest house, swimming pool, and more. Surfers and beach lovers will feel connected to the striking blue band of Pacific Ocean, topping a lush carpet of rich vegetation and a few beautifully designed home’s roofs. If privacy is desired, the mature wild landscaping understates the entrance such that visitors need mindfully find the property. Alternatively, some trimmed back landscaping and a tasteful fence would easily frame a showcase estate. The Crest Drive Corridor is loosely defined as a circuit of streets (Crest, Wales, Via Tiempo, Lake), and is unofficially recognized by locals as having its own independent identity. Its prestigious, yet casual character, is best summarized as being a bastion of old California charm, with oversized parcels, and lush mature landscaping, where Torrey Pine trees still line streets without sidewalks. A few minutes from the coast, this coveted neighborhood is everything we love about the beach, without the tight quarters and parking pressure. Nestled in the heart of North County, this neighborhood sits above historic Hwy 101, Cardiff Towne Centre, Downtown Encinitas, and Cedros Design District. Move here, and instantly plug into award-winning schools, world-class surf, great restaurants, farmers markets, shops, galleries, parks, trails, train station, freeway access, and everything North County has to offer. No HOA or Mello Roos. Buyer and Agent to verify all MLS data before closing escrow. Thanks for your interest, and please call anytime if I can be a resource in any way.
