1432 Schoolhouse Way

Perched on a rare ocean-view lot in the renowned Westcliffe Community of San Elijo Hills, this 4,600 sq. ft. estate—with a detached casita —offers unmatched privacy with no immediate neighbors and sweeping ocean views from every room of the house. The owners recently completed an extensive backyard transformation, featuring a custom fire pit, over 100 feet of frameless glass railings, custom landscape lighting, drip irrigation system, succulent-filled planter boxes, a lighted trellis, and a full outdoor kitchen equipped with two refrigerators, custom draft beer station, built-in BBQ, pizza oven, outdoor TV, and porcelain countertops and tile. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to highlight the breathtaking Pacific views from this elevated and private yard perfect for entertaining. Step inside through a custom iron front door into a grand entry with soaring ceilings and an entry garden. The main living room opens completely to the backyard through La Cantina doors and features a custom cabinetry entertainment center. The open floor plan includes 2 bedrooms on the main level with the option of using one as an office, an expanded kitchen with high-end stainless appliances, and a dedicated coffee bar. The casita has been expanded to 500 sq ft of living space including one bedroom, kitchen, living area, and full bath with a washer and dryer. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms; three generously sized guest bedrooms—each with its own en-suite bath—alongside a spacious loft area, perfect for a game room, media space, or cozy lounge. Additionally the primary suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, sitting area, massive walk-in closet, luxurious bathroom, and a private balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the panoramic 180-degree sunset views over the Pacific Ocean and the beaches of Encinitas and Carlsbad. For the first time since its stunning transformation, this remarkable residence is being offered for sale. Nestled at the end of one of Westcliffe’s rare long private driveways, it delivers an extraordinary blend of seclusion, serenity, and sweeping views—all within the security of a gated community. Despite its tucked-away setting, you’re just a short stroll to top-rated San Elijo schools, the vibrant town center with its beloved restaurants and boutiques, and more than 30 miles of scenic hiking trails that wind through this picturesque hillside enclave. A home of this caliber is truly a rare find.
