Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1972, the property is in turnkey condition due to significant renovations likely within the 5-15 year range. It features updated wood-grain flooring, granite countertops in the kitchen and bath, and Whirlpool appliances. Systems are well-maintained with a newer water heater and recent HOA roof/carport updates, though it utilizes a wall A/C unit rather than central HVAC.
Elementary School: Torrey Pines Elementary School (9/10). High School: University City High School (9/10).
Situated west of the I-5 in a highly coveted La Jolla pocket, this property offers exceptional walkability to UCSD, shopping, dining, and the trolley, making it an ideal high-demand investment or primary residence.
This former model home features high-end finishes including granite countertops, wood-grain flooring, and dual-pane windows, plus the rare addition of a living room A/C unit for enhanced climate control.
With only 691 square feet and a single bedroom, the property’s footprint may be restrictive for buyers seeking extra space for a home office or long-term growth.
The reliance on shared community laundry facilities rather than private in-unit hookups may be a drawback for modern buyers prioritizing convenience and privacy.
