High Price Point: The list price of $5,000,000 positions this property in the ultra-luxury market, significantly narrowing the pool of potential buyers.
Limited Ocean Views: While views are present ('City Lights, Neighborhood, Peek-A-Boo, Trees/Woods'), the absence of expansive, direct ocean views may be a drawback for buyers expecting such a feature in a La Jolla property at this price point.
