More Insights
Built in 2000 (25 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 2000, is 24 years old. While it boasts excellent architectural features like floor-to-ceiling windows and a two-story living room, along with desirable outdoor amenities (pool, spa, ADU), the interior finishes, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, show signs of being outdated. The kitchen features light wood cabinetry, wood backsplash, and granite countertops typical of the early 2000s, and while appliances are stainless steel, they do not appear to be recent high-end models. The visible bathroom also reflects a similar dated style. The consistent light wood-look flooring is a positive update, but the core elements of the kitchen and bathrooms would require significant renovation to meet current luxury market standards, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated and requiring minor updates.

About this home
Cream of the crop in La Jolla Woods! The moment you open the private wooden gate, the green scenery comes into your sight through the 30-inch floor-to-ceiling window and the glass front door. Special features include a studio/ADU with a private entrance through a rose garden with a kitchenette, oversized shower, and private canyon-view deck. The tranquility of the location and large private lot adds to the feeling of peacefulness, while the two-story living room overlooking the natural, awe-inspiring scene creates daily feelings of thankfulness. Entering the second floor, the master bedroom suit with a large walk-in closet on the left is separated from three other bedrooms located on the right side. Tremendous outdoor areas complete with pool and oversized spa, citrus trees and gardens, and view decking. Perhaps one of the best offerings in La Jolla Woods, a community that enjoys an excellent location close to Torrey Pines Elementary, the YMCA, UCSD, and More.
