About This Home
Discover your dream coastal home in this vibrant and colorful beach sanctuary, ideally located just a block away from La Jolla. This stunning property offers peek ocean views of both Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean from the upstairs bedroom and private deck. Situated just minutes from Tourmaline Beach and Bird Rock, you'll enjoy easy access to world-class beaches, dining, shopping, and entertainment in one of San Diego’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Top-Rated Schools: Zoned for La Jolla High School, Muirlands Middle School, and Bird Rock Elementary, this home is perfect for families seeking proximity to top educational institutions. Development Potential: Located outside the California Coastal Commission coastal zone with convenient alley access, this property offers potential for redevelopment or the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) to create extra living space, providing significant opportunities for expansion and increased value. Bright & Open Living Spaces: The oversized kitchen island seamlessly flows into the open-concept living room, making it an ideal space for entertaining. Relax by the gas fireplace while large windows frame views of the beautifully landscaped front yard, offering ample natural light throughout the day. Spacious Bedrooms & Versatile Spaces: The extra-large upstairs bedroom features a private deck and en-suite bathroom, perfect for peaceful relaxation. The downstairs bedroom also includes an en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and convenience. The smallest bedroom offers endless possibilities—transform it into a home office, playroom, workout space, or a hobby studio. Adjacent is a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Modern Comforts & Energy Efficiency: Enjoy year-round comfort with zoned HVAC and lower utility bills thanks to owned solar panels. The attached garage provides convenient parking, plus there’s an additional parking space off the alley for extra convenience. Prime Location: Just blocks away from top-rated restaurants, Gelson’s Market, The French Gourmet, and vibrant nightlife, this home offers the perfect balance of beachside living and urban convenience. Whether you choose to move in as-is or explore the possibilities for redevelopment, this La Jolla-area gem presents an exciting opportunity to own a piece of coastal paradise.
