896 Channel Island Dr

Heavenly ocean views and indoor/outdoor luxury in an award-winning Encinitas community! Nestled on a tranquil cul-de-sac, this stunning 5-bedroom home is part of Shea Homes’ sought-after One Channel Island, honored in 2015 as San Diego’s best new home community by the Building Industry Association. Coastal Plantation architecture evokes Hawaii and New Zealand with dramatic large windows, folding glass walls, and an open floor plan that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living in this exclusive, coastal location. An entertainer’s main level takes open-concept to new heights, with two sets of 12’ vanishing doors joining airy living space and the contemporary kitchen with a covered loggia for ideal al fresco dining. Breathtaking Pacific sunsets and cool ocean breezes provide the perfect setting to dip in the pool and spa, serve cocktails at the outdoor bar/grill station, and gather together at the built-in fire pit. One downstairs bedroom offers flexible guest or multigenerational space with a full en-suite bath. Upstairs, the incredible master bedroom is brimming with ocean views and natural light through nine windows and glass French doors to a private covered balcony. A luxurious dressing room closet sits across from the master bath with a massive double rainfall shower and direct balcony access. Two more full baths serve three secondary upstairs bedrooms, one equipped as a fabulous home office. Additional amenities include a main-level powder room, Honeywell smart thermostat, and laundry with best-in-class Electrolux washer/dryer adjacent to the 2-car garage.
