Built with painstaking attention to the details of a quintessential Santa Barbara-style estate, this sea-bluff home is a serene enclave of stillness and expansive ocean views. Once inside the arched wooden gate, a classic Spanish-tiled walkway leads through an enclosed courtyard with tall, white stucco walls into a world from another era. The home is the blend of complete privacy high above one of Southern California’s prime surf breaks, yet footsteps away from the lively beach vibe of downtown Encinitas.
