“This property is like a museum, it is art,” said Lisa Waltman of Compass, who is co-listing the home with Kelly Howard. “Our most recent sale on this premier ocean view street, Neptune Ave in Encinitas, closed a few weeks ago at 3,174 per square foot, and that was a 1974 original-condition house on a much smaller lot. 532 Neptune stands alone in terms of its uniqueness and quality. At 0.43 acre, the lot is one of the larger ones on Neptune.
The home is brimming with bonus areas that can do double duty as a gym, yoga studio, media room or office. Every bedroom and the living areas offer endless ocean views, while some also capture elevated views to the east where lights twinkle in the night sky. Patios, verandas, terraces and decks maximize outdoor coastal living and the sensation of floating on the ocean.
He added, “Designing is like being a detective, you go to a client’s existing home and you look at what books they’re reading, what art they have, what music they like, and it triggers a reaction. You make magic from the whole process. Buildings should be a portrait of their owner. It should be like a media presentation — watching the day go by, watching the light change, watching the shadows grow and slowly the artificial lighting filling in the evening.
Howard added, “The land value alone is tremendous in itself, then you layer on how unique the home is with its artistry and architecture. And then you understand you have something that sets it apart from any house on that block or in the Zip code. With today’s building restrictions between the city and the coastal commission, you would not be able to build this house on that site today. It just cannot be duplicated.
