This 3 bed/2 bath, 2,160sf custom home was built in 2001 in the ‘vibrant urban core’ of central Hillcrest and listed for $1,775,000. It sold for full price within six days on the market. “Exceptional Custom-Built Residence with Secluded Serenity and Urban Convenience”

Neptune All-Timer

The highest sale in Encinitas was the Crescent House for $16,250,000. But that was in May, 2023. Will anyone be surprised if they get close to the $24,850,000 here? Not me. I think I said $28 million in the video but it was the previous agent who had it for $27,500,000 last year.

Introducing a rare gem in coastal luxury, 1230 Neptune Ave in Encinitas, CA, represents the pinnacle of new construction and the last opportunity of its kind for an oceanfront residence on the California coast. This magnificent 7,089-square-foot home is a showcase of architectural mastery and exclusive living, uniquely permitted on a coastal bluff where such development will no longer be allowed. Just 12 minutes from Carlsbad Airport, your unparalleled oceanfront escape awaits. Step inside to discover an entryway that ushers you into a realm where luxury meets breathtaking ocean views. The home is equipped with a commercial-grade elevator, ensuring effortless navigation throughout. Each room is designed to frame the Pacific Ocean through expansive glass windows, seamlessly integrating the horizon into your daily life. This home boasts unparalleled amenities, including four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a state-of-the-art theater, a sophisticated bar and lounge, and a refined wine cellar, each space meticulously crafted for luxury and entertainment. The private bluffside terrace offers a serene retreat, surrounded by complete privacy and spectacular ocean views. For relaxation and rejuvenation, the in-home spa and sauna provide a sanctuary of wellness. Exclusive beach access invites you to enjoy the enchanting coastal ambiance of Encinitas directly from your doorstep. The first and last of its kind.

We are trying to reach audiences in different places – this will end up on Instagram – but I like playing them here too for those who prefer videos even though we acknowledged last week that the Fed cut is a nothing-burger for now. Every message has it’s own personality though.

We saw a similar opportunity with big ocean view in Solana Beach sell for just over list at $5,000,000, so this 3 br/2 ba, 1,845sf house built in 1976 on a 10,100sf lot still looks attractive even with paying $3,025,000, a premium of $230,000 over the list price of $2,795,000.

I have finally given up my trusty Google Pixel phone and this is my first full video with the iphone15. This might take a while to get the editing down!

La Costa Oaks Update

by | Jul 17, 2024 | Bubbleinfo TV, La Costa, Why You Should List With Jim

This house for sale is down the street from the one I sold in October, 2022 for $2,250,000 and I said then that I didn’t think another home would sell in this neighborhood for less than $2,000,000. None have closed under $2M since then, and the last two sales were both closed in July at $2,125,000 for a Centex, not Davidson home that backed to the power lines and $2,444,000 across the street from this one.
