A motorcourt and an attached garage are located out front, and there are breathtaking views of the beach and city lights from practically anywhere on the property.

Once inside, the lavish layout has five bedrooms and six bathrooms spread out over little more than 5,100 square feet of living area with stone floors and tall wood-accented ceilings in key locations. There is also a separate guesthouse with one bedroom and one bathroom.

The formal living and dining rooms, the family room with a fireplace, and the large kitchen with an eat-in island, stainless steel equipment, and an adjacent breakfast nook are some of the highlights.

In addition to an infinity pool and spa surrounded by a grassy lawn, a built-in grill station, a conversation area with a fire pit, and several locations for al fresco dining and relaxing, the landscaped grounds are filled with meandering walkways. The property also comes with deeded privileges to the La Costa Beach and Tennis Club, which is an extra plus.
