Live where others vacation! Rare opportunity to live in a one-of-a-kind Mid-Century live/work charmer! Centrally located, this 1950s bungalow is the perfect work-from-home property. The home includes 3 bedrooms and 1-1/2 baths and features a sandstone brick wood-burning fireplace in the living room, plus a large, updated kitchen with new quartz countertop, gas cooktop and hood, flooring and lighting. Situated on approximately one-fifth of an acre, the home displays mid-century style throughout, with knotty cedar tongue-and-groove paneling and built-in storage. The master bedroom has an adjacent half-bath. The back bedroom has a door leading to the backyard. And the front bedroom has two closets plus built-in cabinets and drawers. The property is newly painted inside and out and includes many upgrades. Screened from the street by a cluster of bamboo, the grounds feature mature shade trees and fruit-bearing trees, a fern grotto, lush tropical plantings, flagstone walkways, stone seating area with built-in firepit/barbecue, chicken coops, room for a vegetable garden, and a built-in gardener's potting shed. As well as a long driveway for off-street parking. At the rear of the property, the detached two-car garage has been converted into a unique workspace-an area that could be used as an office, a three-quarter bath, and an open workshop area with built-in storage. A new garage door offers easy load-in/out. There is also a laundry area with utility sink and hookups for a washer and either gas or electric dryer. West of the freeway, this home is a short distance to downtown Encinitas, restaurants and shops, the Coaster station, City Hall and the library, and Encinitas ViewPoint Park-and less than a mile to Moonlight Beach. Minimum one-year lease. Trash, Water and Gardener included!
