Some homes you tour. This one you escape to. At the quiet end of a no-through street in Leucadia, behind a gated drive, sits an enchanting retreat where the loudest sound after dark is the surf. Herons nest overhead, butterflies drift through tropical greenery, and the sand, the surf, and the best coffee and tacos sit minutes from the gate. The reimagined main house opens through 15-foot cantina doors that erase the line between living room, expansive deck and lush grounds beyond. The kitchen brings custom cabinetry, skylights, Bertazzoni range, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and an island hiding a startling amount of storage. A butler's pantry, refreshed laundry, three bedrooms, three baths, and two offices leave real room to live and work. Upstairs, the primary suite stands alone, with a private deck, an airy spa-like bath, and dual walk-in closets. An attached ADU adds a private one-bed, one-bath with its own kitchen and yard: guests, income, or a studio of your own. Outdoors, the luxury continues, equally suited to quiet mornings and lively evenings. Multiple gathering spaces, a surf shack, an outdoor shower, and a yard that turns sweet with tropical blooms and stays utterly private. EV charger, owned solar, storage workshop, ample gated parking. The lagoon, the trails, and the Leucadia farmers market are all close by. Bike the world-famous PCH, paddle out to legendary breaks, or browse the shops, then come home to starry night skies. Coastal Leucadia rarely offers this level of privacy, luxury, and flexibility. Homes like this surface once, then disappear. The kitchen was thoughtfully remodeled with gorgeous quartz countertops. The living room centers on a refreshed fireplace and vaulted ceilings. Engineered hardwood flows seamlessly on most of the living space. The grounds were thoughtfully reworked, with much of the old hardscape removed in favor of low-maintenance turf, updated landscaping, and contemporary fencing that gates the driveway and gives the ADU its own separate yard, or a gate can be rolled back for a more unified yard space. A dedicated storage shed and workshop handle bikes, tools, and projects, with an additional surf shed in the front. Owned solar and an EV charging station keep utility costs low, while skylights and premium appliances, and numerous thoughtful remodeling touches round out a residence that has been updated throughout and is ready to move in.
