Overview
Classic, coastal, single-story bungalow on a large southwest facing lot, featuring new kitchen, bright living spaces, and sweeping sit-down ocean views.

Welcome
Welcome to 1001 Hurstdale Avenue, a beachy Cardiff bungalow with 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.
Come tour this lovely single-story home featuring a new kitchen that flows warmly into a soulful great room, with loosely partitioned sitting areas, and multiple outdoor access points that showcase gorgeous sit-down ocean views from most areas of the home. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a short hallway to three cozy bedrooms and two bathrooms.
A flat, highly usable, 10,000sf, yard wraps its pie shape around the home, offering loads of opportunities for entertainment and relaxation, with a generous band of blue ocean framing the view. 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 special qualities that make up Cardiff’s character.
Improvements
This lovingly owned home has not changed hands in 27 years. Here are some recent improvements:
- Newer roof

- New paint of all the interior and most of the exterior
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. Plus, even the garage has a window to the ocean :)
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.
