Key pros and cons

Prime La Jolla Location & Privacy: Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in La Jolla, the property offers exceptional privacy while being moments from the Beach and Bird Rock Village, a highly desirable coastal community.
Top Cons:
Specific Architectural Aesthetic: The property's 'modern architectural moment' and 'striking geometric tile fireplace wall' suggest a very specific and bold design aesthetic that, while high-end, may not appeal to all luxury buyers seeking a more traditional or neutral style.

Condition: Despite being built in 1988, the property has clearly undergone an extensive, high-quality renovation, likely within the last 5 years. The description highlights a 'chef’s kitchen' with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, and European oak flooring. Images confirm modern, high-end finishes throughout the kitchen and bathrooms, including a spa-style wet room with a sauna and freestanding tub, contemporary fixtures, and stylish tiling. All components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

About this home

Where the home becomes the destination. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this curated coastal retreat unfolds through light, texture, and an effortless sense of flow. The main level lives like a single-story sanctuary, where elevated spaces float above a relaxed, resort-inspired lower level, creating a thoughtful balance between refinement and ease. A private enclosed courtyard offers a gallery-like arrival with curated art, sculptural lighting, and a custom water feature, while a dramatic glass pivot door opens to an entry washed in natural light. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows frame ocean views, glowing sunsets, and the lush canopy beyond. The living room is anchored by a striking geometric tile fireplace wall, a modern architectural moment with quiet drama. The chef’s kitchen seamlessly blends form and function with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, waterfall island, concealed coffee bar, and warm European oak flooring throughout. The primary suite evokes a boutique hotel retreat with vaulted ceilings, ocean views, and direct access to the yard and hot tub. Two additional rooms provide serene guest and office spaces. Direct access to the 2-car garage through a vibrant laundry room. Downstairs, a resort-inspired level opens to the pool and features family room with bar, game room, gym, sauna, and spa-style wet room, along with an oversized 3rd-car garage accessed from the dead-end alley. Outdoors, enjoy a saltwater lap pool, fire pit, hot tub, entertaining deck, pergola lounge, outdoor shower, garden. Moments from the Beach and Bird Rock Village.
