Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this property exhibits a mix of conditions. While some areas, like the primary bathroom (with soaking tub and updated shower) and the outdoor pool/rooftop deck, appear to have been updated within the last 10-15 years and are in good condition, other key areas show their age. The kitchen in the rear unit (372 Nautilus) features dated white appliances, light wood cabinets, and an older patterned tile backsplash, suggesting a renovation 20-30+ years ago or original components. The main living areas maintain a 'timeless mid-century character' with vaulted wood ceilings and a stone fireplace, which could be original or period-appropriate updates. Overall, the property is well-maintained but requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen of the smaller unit, to meet modern standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1963, while possessing mid-century character, the property may require significant investment in modernizing systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and finishes to meet contemporary luxury standards expected at this price point.
Modest Total Square Footage: With a combined 1429 sqft across both units, the interior living space is relatively compact for a property of this value in La Jolla, indicating that the price is heavily weighted towards the prime location and land rather than expansive living areas.
Rear Unit Access & Configuration: The rear residence is positioned above a two-car garage with access from North Lane, which might present a less traditional or private access arrangement compared to a fully detached single-family home, potentially impacting some buyers' preferences for privacy and layout.
