About This Home
Sweeping easterly views and effortless elegance are yours from this refined residence tucked within Windemere’s exclusive guard-gated community. Vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a neutral palette create an ambiance of comfortable sophistication throughout the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout. Flowing living areas are ideal for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, with a well-equipped chef’s kitchen featuring quartz-topped counters, a center island, stainless appliances, and a built-in breakfast nook. The entry-level primary suite offers a large walk-in closet plus two additional closets, and a luxe stone bath with dual vanities, skylights, and a spacious shower with a floral accent wall. Upstairs, a generous bedroom and bath are connected by a catwalk overlooking the living room—lined with bookshelves, creating a cozy loft-style library. Four sets of sliding doors open to a wraparound garden patio with mature landscaping, a built-in barbecue, and a soothing fountain—an inviting setting to embrace the city lights and mountain vistas. The third bedroom is currently used as an office without a finished closet. Thoughtfully designed storage in nearly every space contributes to pristine, organized living. Residents of Windemere benefit from 24/7 guard-gated access and resort-inspired amenities including two pools, a spa, fitness center, lighted tennis & pickleball courts, clubhouse, RV/boat parking, and scenic park-like grounds with walking paths. Perfectly located in the hills of La Jolla, just minutes from The Village, beaches, and a wide array of shopping & dining.
