Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1964, this home is clean and move-in ready but remains largely dated. The kitchen features older wood cabinetry and black appliances, and the listing explicitly mentions the need for a bathroom refresh and updates on the buyer's timeline, placing it in the >20-year age bracket for systems and finishes.
Elementary School: Holmes Elementary School (9/10).
Situated on a quiet, low-traffic street in North Clairemont, the property offers a peaceful residential feel while providing exceptionally quick access to major tech hubs like Sorrento Valley and the beaches of La Jolla.
The single-story floor plan features a separate family room and sits on a generous 6,700-square-foot lot, providing ample space for future expansions, ADU potential, or a custom outdoor oasis.
While clean and functional, the home likely retains many original 1960s elements, necessitating a significant budget for buyers seeking a contemporary aesthetic or high-end finishes.
Although the local elementary school is highly rated, the designated middle and high schools carry lower performance scores, which may impact long-term appeal for education-focused families.
