More Insights

Built in 1970 (56 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1970, shows signs of regular maintenance but requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The kitchen, renovated in 2007 (17 years ago), is functional with stainless steel appliances but features dated cabinet styles and countertops. Bathrooms also appear clean and functional but are stylistically outdated. The flooring is a mix of saltillo tile, parquet, and newer laminate, indicating a need for cohesive modernization. While the exterior has been recently repainted and some light fixtures updated, the overall impression is that of an aged home that has been maintained but not extensively modernized beyond the 2007 kitchen update, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

About this home

First time on the market in 47 years! Estate like privacy can be found in this Spanish influenced single level four bedroom, three bath 3432 square foot home on close to a half acre in the prestigious Old Muirlands. Enter through an enclosed courtyard and delight in the mature landscaping and the fact that window curtains are not needed for privacy. Multiple sliding glass doors will take you to the front courtyard or to the pool and deck with its ocean view and large two tiered backyard, perfect for child’s play or gardening. The house has been recently repainted outside and there is a glass windbreak behind the pool. The very sensible floorplan has the primary bedroom and study on one wing of the house and the additional three bedrooms on the other wing. The kitchen was redone in 2007 and features Maytag and GE appliances, a gas stove and a movable island. The kitchen is adjacent to a family room with gas fireplace and the two could easily become a great room. Additionally there is a security system, saltillo tile and parquet floors, a dedicated laundry room, and flagstone patio. The living room is flooded with sunlight and overlooks the pool. If you are looking for a special home on a cul de sac in an established La Jolla neighborhood, this home will resonate with you.
