About this House

This well-appointed home is located down a private cul-de-sac drive in Cardiffs famous Composer District. Step past the massive three-car garage and through the columns and you will experience its flowing floor plan. The dining and living rooms have new bamboo wood flooring, making the natural light pouring through resonate that much more. The high ceilings give an additional feeling of space to the already generous room sizes. The eat-in kitchen has granite counters with PLENTY of counter and cabinet storage, a large breakfast table/nook area as well as a dedicated pantry. The family room has ten-foot ceilings, new bamboo flooring, plenty of south-facing windows, custom storage, a fireplace and French doors leading to a patio and professionally landscaped garden. There is also a bedroom with a full bath downstairs, allowing for plenty of options (office, teenager/mother-in-law suite...). The upstairs starts off with a massive 500+ square foot Master that has a large custom-designed deck to take in the ocean views, sun and the gentle Pacific breezes. The Master bath has dual sinks, a nice-sized walk-in closet, a Jacuzzi bath tub and a separate shower and a private water closet. The other upstairs rooms are set back down the hall allowing for privacy for all. The junior Master suite enjoys a dedicated full bath and walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms are large and feel even bigger due to the amount of light that shines in. The lot itself features, at last count, over 200 species of plants, including an underwater reef motif area with stone and sand accents, native Southern Californian vegetation slopes as well as a flat area with grass and plenty of sun. The award-winning school district is among the best in North County. Its an easy bike ride to Swamis, downtown Encinitas, Coaster station, Seaside Market and the recently revamped Vons center. This home is located with very easy access to I-5 and Coast Hwy 101, but it certainly doesnt sound like it! It doesnt suffer from the road noise that plagues much of the coastal corridor. There isnt another home on the market with this much land, this close to the beach with this generous amount of square footage for this low a price!
1472 Rubenstein Ave, Cardiff, CA 92007 is a 4 bedroom, 3,500 sqft single-family home in Cardiff, built in 1996. It last sold for $513,000 on Dec 4, 1996. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $5,139,000, with a rent estimate of $7,760/month.

    "Great area and great schools. Some great parks and close to the beach. Great for being outside but the hills and lack of sidewalks in areas makes it less walkable than other areas. Package theft does happen and people don’t clean up after their pets well. The rent is also really high around here. "
