Welcome
Welcome to 1005 Hurstdale Avenue, an open-concept home centered around a gourmet kitchen, versatile great room, and sit-down ocean views. Huge sliders and a glass-enclosed sunroom extend an indoor/outdoor experience framed by lush mature landscaping and elevated views in one of San Diego’s most scenic and desirable coastal neighborhoods. Located just west of the coveted Crest Corridor, this Poinsettia Heights home offers a blend of utility, potential, and timeless scarcity.
Home
Come tour this roomy, single-story home, with lots of loosely partitioned sitting areas and multiple outdoor access points, which showcase gorgeous ocean views from most areas of the home. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a short hallway to an expanded Primary Suite and two bedrooms.
Lot
The upper portion of this huge, 29,500sf lot surrounds the home with a flat and spacious yard, before cascading into a private canyon. In addition to balancing stunning ocean views with captivating visual relief, the canyon also serves as a buffer for privacy and permanent view protection. There may also be potential utility in the land for other structures - subject to City approval (i.e. deck? garden? ADU?).
More than just a beautiful feature of the property, this southwest-facing backyard, is a literal extension of your living experience. Savor the ocean, take in the sun, enjoy meals al fresco, and feel connected to the qualities that make up Cardiff’s special character.

Garage
The driveway leads to a convenient attached, full sized, 2-car garage, with lots of room for storage, washer/dryer, workbenches, and utilities. Lots of room to facilitate work, hobbies, and easy accessibility.
Neighborhood Vibe
Bordering on the Crest Corridor, Poinsettia Heights offers amazing value at reasonable price-points. Oversized lots, lush palms, ocean breezes, and sunny skies, all exude a tropical SoCal vibe. And with complete renovations to virtually every third home, this area has been appreciating disproportionally.
Inland Access
Sufficiently insulated, but close enough for easy convenience, you “go in” (i.e. east) to El Camino Real, where a quick left leads to everything mass-market, from Trader Joe’s to Target, and everything in between.
Coastal Access
Surfers and beach lovers enjoy a strong connection to the sea, ritualistically driving the one mile straight shot down Birmingham Drive to legendary breaks “down the hill”. You go “down the hill” for gourmet staples and fresh ingredients at Seaside Market, breakfast at Pipes, the freshest VG’s doughnuts, cozy dining at Trattoria Positano or Cicciotti’s, trendy nights out at The Waverly, and shopping at Patagonia or Fowler’s Boutique.
“Down the hill” is where you also connect to the Rail Trail linking Del Mar, Cedros Design District at Solana Beach, San Elijo Lagoon, Cardiff Towne Center, Downtown Encinitas, Leucadia, and the Historic Hwy 101, as well as legendary surf breaks at Seaside, Cardiff Reef, and Swami’s.
