About This Home

As of December 2024

Endless views of breaking waves, sunsets, the coastline, and Mission Bay abound from this 1967 Mid-Century residence presiding on .74 acres at the end of a canyon cul-de-sac in a quiet La Jolla setting. This hidden gem is beautifully integrated into its coastal hillside location with an unassuming visage from the front exterior and captivating views from the minute you enter the home. The light-filled open concept interior showcases beamed ceilings and dramatic floor to ceiling windows to enhance the natural beauty surrounding this property. With living areas, fireplace, kitchen, 3 bedrooms + office, 2.5 baths, laundry, and parking conveniently situated on the entry level, single-level living is easily obtained if desired. Downstairs features a family room that opens to a terrace and beyond to your large canyon lot including a bonus storage room beneath the home.
