About This Home

As of May 2022

One of the best views in all of La Jolla. The hills of La Jolla Rancho offer up unobstructed views of the ocean and bay. You feel like you're floating above bird rock. This home offers up just under 4000 sq ft of living space that can be transformed into your dream home. OR you can build your dream home. With the lot size being over 34,000 sq ft it allows you plenty of sq footage to build(potentially up to 15,000 sq ft)! With this location and the unobstructed views, this is a once in a lifetime property. The renderings are for a very nice remodel(taken down to the studs and everything new) and plans will be submitted to the city in the next few weeks. Seller can help the buyer with a remodel/rebuild if needed.
