1661 Willowhaven RD, Encinitas, CA 92024 (MLS # NDP2604951)
|
Welcome to 1661 Willowhaven, a luminous, light-drenched home nestled on one of Encinitas' most cherished streets just steps from Scott Valley Park and two miles from the beach. A hand-cut custom medallion mosaic entry opens into a spacious open concept living and dining room where vaulted ceilings and grand windows move light throughout the home. The heart of the home is a large custom kitchen appointed with designer quality granite countertops, recessed lighting, hand painted tiles, a large center island, JennAir appliance suite, and craftsman cabinetry. The kitchen opens to the family room, which is anchored by a cozy fireplace and sliding glass doors that lead out to the backyard and green belt views beyond. Fully fenced and lush with low maintenance tropicals and well established roses, gladiolas, palms, and hibiscus, the generous backyard offers a balanced mix of hardscape and lawn as a canvas to create your perfect outdoor entertaining space. The layout of the home provides both spaces to gather and places to enjoy retreat and privacy. A large primary suite lives like a sanctuary. High transom windows bring in fresh coastal air and morning birdsong, and sliding glass doors open to a private deck overlooking the fully landscaped backyard, a lush creek corridor, and a sweeping greenbelt view that glows during sunsets. En suite bathroom for the primary suite features walk-in closets, dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. In addition to the primary suite, the second floor features three spacious and bright bedrooms and a beautifully updated bath with custom porcelain tile shower and a Calacatta Venato quartz double vanity. Systems are move-in ready: The roof was replaced in 2013 and has had a recent tune-up in April 2026. New HVAC was installed in 2018 and was serviced in 2024, and the Rheem water heater was installed in 2020. The home is plumbed with copper plumbing and has had some recent electrical and lighting updates. Fresh new paint throughout and a stylish new DreamWeaver Pinpoint premium carpet will allow you to enjoy the home move-in ready or give you the perfect foundation on which to continue to customize the home. The Encinitas lifestyle requires a garage that can house multiple vehicles while leaving plenty of room for all the toys and this home's 2 bay, 3 car garage fits the bill perfectly. This special home is just minutes from the boutique shops, golf courses, acclaimed restaurants, vibrant arts scene and laid-back culture that make Encinitas unlike any other coastal town in California. Award-winning schools, freeway close. Encinitas is enjoying the top spot of being California's most coveted small beach town, offering coastal living at its finest with world-class beauty, surf, and a close-knit community. This is your opportunity to secure a piece of paradise and create a life that lives like a year-round vacation.
