458 3rd street

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhouse offers the ultimate Encinitas lifestyle—just 2 blocks from world-renowned D Street and Moonlight Beaches and 1 block from the vibrant shops, cafés, and restaurants along historic Highway 101! Few homes offer this blend of walkability, privacy, and upgraded living. Despite being just steps from everything, this home feels like a private retreat, with a beautifully maintained patio offering plenty of space for entertaining, as well as a convenient outdoor shower. Inside, the open floor plan features a spacious living room with a fireplace and vaulted wood-plank ceiling, a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops, walk-in pantry, stainless-steel appliances, and a dining room that opens to a private, low-maintenance patio—ideal for indoor/outdoor living. On the main level, you'll also find a full bathroom and a large laundry room, with washer and dryer included, that leads to the 2-car garage featuring epoxy flooring and ample storage. All three bedrooms are conveniently located upstairs. The primary suite has vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom, and a large ocean-view patio. The two additional bedrooms include one with its own walk-out patio and a custom loft—perfect for a play space or creative nook. This home has been meticulously maintained, with high-cost improvements already completed, including a newer kitchen, hot water heater, furnace, soft-water system, and windows. It is situated within the award-winning Encinitas Union and San Dieguito School Districts. With only four units in this efficiently run HOA—and a low maintenance fee of $375/month covering insurance, water, sewer, trash, gardener, and exterior maintenance—this property offers both value and convenience. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Encinitas: beach access, urban walkability, convenience, privacy, modern upgrades, and a beautifully-designed home that truly has it all!
