Timeless Elegance on Upper Hermosa’s Most Coveted Street~Nestled on the most desirable street in Upper Hermosa—celebrated for its iconic July 4th and Halloween festivities—this 5-bedroom, 4-bath home offers 3,356 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a generous 10,400 square foot lot. Framed by two majestic Liquidambar trees, the home welcomes you with a classic brick entry and a light-filled foyer that sets the tone for the warmth and sophistication found throughout. Maple flooring runs through most of the home, while two bedrooms retain their original oak flooring and charming French windows, blending timeless character with classic architectural detail. The professionally designed kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring sleek Poggenpohl cabinetry, both induction and gas cooking, a handmade cast glass counter, Corian and soapstone surfaces, and a Sub-Zero professional-grade refrigerator. A custom-built wood wall feature and counter sculpture highlight the area with artistry and intention. Two ensuite bedrooms offer peaceful, private retreats with custom finishes. An additional 5th bedroom showcases soaring 12-foot ceilings and bespoke windows, creating a striking architectural focal point. Skylights throughout flood the home with natural light, enhancing its inviting atmosphere. The spacious two-car garage can double as a game room or entertainment space, providing flexible use options. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A huge side yard with custom gate offers endless potential for play or entertaining. A custom Ipe deck sits beneath a louvered pergola, adjacent to a custom wooden ceiling and a quartz-stone patio all surrounded by blooming roses. The expansive organic garden features mature fruit trees. A walking path behind the backyard invites leisurely strolls and a connection to the surrounding neighborhood charm. More than just a home, this is a rare opportunity to live in one of La Jolla’s most cherished neighborhoods—where timeless elegance, vibrant community spirit, and thoughtful design come together in perfect harmony.
