First time on the market. One of the most picturesque coastal vantage points in North County, this 1962 Solana Palisades 3BR/2BA property represents classic post-and-beam architecture in its purest form. A 180-degree view spans the ocean, San Elijo Lagoon, eastern mountains, and Coast Highway's evening lights. Mid-century design pairs open-beam ceilings, sunken family room, rich walnut woodwork with deep privacy. A gated trail framed by Torrey Pines offers beach access recalling early California. Before there was Surfline, there was 658 E Circle Drive—where surfers called the house for a morning forecast based on unobstructed balcony views of seven surf breaks. One of the finest coastal vantage points in North County, the midcentury house by the late Del Mar architect John Minchin achieves both drama and restraint. Situated on a 12,100-square-foot lot, the residence is harmoniously integrated into its setting, positioned to capture soft, even light throughout the day while avoiding harsh direct sun. The result: a residence that is one with nature. Watch dolphins, survey birdlife from the nearby lagoon, and cultivate a garden that flourishes in this unique coastal microclimate. Come evening, the sunset illuminates Cardiff’s hillside while the lights along Coast Highway create an altogether magical nightscape. A private, gated trail framed by Torrey Pines offers direct beach access and a coastal path celebrating native California topography.
