Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972, this property is well-maintained but largely outdated. While the kitchen has been partially updated with granite countertops, it retains dated oak cabinetry and older white appliances. The flooring consists of basic ceramic tile and standard carpet, and the overall fixtures and finishes reflect a home that has been cared for but not extensively renovated in recent decades.
Elementary School: Del Mar Heights Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Pacific Trails Middle (10/10). High School: Torrey Pines High School (9/10).

The home is served by top-rated institutions including Del Mar Heights Elementary and Torrey Pines High School, making it a highly desirable location for families prioritizing education.
Built in 1972 and described as a long-term family home, the interior likely requires substantial updates to meet the contemporary standards expected at this price point.
