Professional tennis star turned TV analyst James Blake is selling his Encinitas modern/traditional for $1.995 million. Blake recently took on the position as the Miami Open tournament director, so it looks like he’ll be in need of a home on the opposite side of the country in short order.
Spanning 3,273 square feet, the Coastal Plantation-style residence boasts four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The master suite is especially impressive thanks to its spa-style bathroom and a set of French doors opening to a private balcony. An open-concept floorplan flowing from the living room to the kitchen with its spacious eat-in island.
The main living space impresses with wide-plank driftwood hardwood floors, several windows, and a series of retractable bifolding glass doors. As a result, the light and airy living space allows for a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living, and feels very contemporary.
Outside, a covered patio, a fire pit, and a play space fill out the lot, packing in a great deal of San Diego lifestyle into a modest-sized lot.
