Set on a quiet double cul-de-sac in the desirable Willowcreek community, this beautifully updated Encinitas home offers timeless design, rare privacy, and a sun-drenched backyard retreat. Backing to open space with no neighbors behind, the south-facing yard is peaceful and private—while the fully remodeled interior delivers comfort, style, and modern ease. A highly sought-after preschool is just around the corner, and a beautiful park sits at the end of the cul-de-sac—making this location as convenient as it is charming. All just minutes from award-winning schools, iconic beaches, and the best of North County living. A custom front door opens to a freshly painted interior, where upgraded windows fill the space with natural light and draw attention to newly refinished hardwood floors, detailed crown molding, and baseboards that bring warmth and cohesion throughout. To the right, formal living and dining spaces with tall ceilings and plantation shutters feel inviting and open. Just beyond, the fully remodeled kitchen anchors the home with granite counters, GE Monogram appliances including a double oven, a Bosch dishwasher, wine fridge, and custom cabinetry with a mix of solid and glass-front doors. Swarovski pendant lighting adds a soft, elevated touch above the breakfast bar, while a cozy nook offers space for casual meals. The kitchen opens directly to a welcoming family room with a custom gas fireplace and beautiful custom mantel, and sliding glass doors that create seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The brand new laundry room includes a sink, cabinetry, updated flooring, and fresh paint. Upstairs, the primary suite feels calm and spacious, with hardwood floors, soft natural light, and a spa-inspired bath that has been completely reimagined. Enjoy a deep soaking tub beneath a large window, dual vanities with sculptural vessel sinks, stone tile floors, elegant pendant lights, and a walk-in shower framed by a custom glass enclosure. Down the hall, three secondary bedrooms—each with updated lighting and plush carpet—share a full bath, remodeled with dual sinks, new tile, vanity, mirrors, and updated shower fixtures. The staircase and railings have been custom redone, and recessed lighting has been added in the family room, kitchen, all upstairs bedrooms, the stairwell, and upper hallway. Additional upgrades include refreshed powder and secondary baths, all new interior doors, a whole-house copper repipe, a tankless water heater, new roof installed in 2024, new garage doors, fully replaced windows, and an updated electrical panel. The backyard is designed for both beauty and ease, with upgraded fencing, custom hardscape, and lush landscaping—including two delicious, producing fig trees. A private spa makes the most of the home’s south-facing orientation, while a freestanding covered cabana—known as the “Queen’s Room”—offers a comfortable outdoor retreat for lounging or gathering with friends under the shade. With curtains for privacy and space for full seating, it’s an ideal extension of the home’s al fresco lifestyle. Neighborhood trails connect directly to Scott Valley Park with sand volleyball courts, basketball, a playground, and open green space. Located within the top-rated Encinitas Union and San Dieguito Union High School Districts and just minutes from El Camino Real shopping, the Forum, downtown Encinitas, and the I-5—this home offers a lifestyle that’s private, connected, and effortlessly livable.

Our estate planner referred us to Steve Sakofsky to assist me in selling my property that I inherited.Steve is a wonderful realtor and a super nice and helpful person. He definitely went the extra mile when helping sell my property, especially since I was out of state. I recommend him highly and would give him 10 stars if google would allow it. You can't go wrong with Steve at Sun Trust Homes! Behzad Norouzi2024-05-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven has helped my both buy a new home and sell my old home. During both the sale, and the purchase, he always kept me informed about everything and helped me make the best decisions possible. I am very happy with the outcomes and would be happy to have him help me again in the future Steve W2024-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are likely a lot of “good” realtors out there, but I would say Steven is one of the best at representing a buyer in the sales process. He was very proactive in addressing issues that came up throughout the purchase and helped resolved concerns raised during the inspection. I would highly recommend him for anyone buying or selling property in San Diego county. Hyun Kim2024-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Steve was referred to me by my financial planner and he did an outstanding service for me… he helped me with a mortgage refinance and additionally had the foresight to get me a HELOC as well. I wish I had met Steve years earlier, he’s much more better than an online broker. Thanks Steve for all of your help!! pat loeser2023-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This transaction with Steven was professional and expedient. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and colleagues. Anne Radcliffe2023-11-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven Sakofsky was referred by a financial planning colleague of mine in 2010 to negotiate the purchase of my forever beach home in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Since then, he has assisted in multiple refinance transactions for me, the sale of my parents’ home and cash out loans for a close relative. Always responsive and very knowledgeable.

I was referred to Steven by my financial advisor and I have been thrilled with the service I received from him. I was looking for an honest and trustworthy broker to assist in refinancing my home. He is very responsive when you call and keeps close tabs on the market. Steven is very knowledgeable and worked hard to get the best interest rate possible. I was SO pleased with his outstanding results that I referred him to family members and friends. He has since secured good interest rates for at least 3 people I referred. I highly recommend Steven!!
