Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Location & Gated Community: Nestled in the exclusive gated community of Torrey Woods Estates, the property offers security and prestige, with convenient access to Torrey Pines Beach, One Paseo, shopping, and dining.
Top-Rated School Districts: Located within the highly desirable Del Mar Union and San Dieguito Union High School Districts, with the unique advantage of choosing between two top-rated elementary schools (Ocean Air or Torrey Hills).
Extensive Modern Upgrades & Smart Home Features: The home boasts recent renovations including new luxury vinyl plank flooring, custom lighting, fresh paint, updated kitchen fixtures, professional landscaping, smart locks, Nest thermostats, and an EV car charger.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen with Premium Appliances: A true showstopper, the kitchen features an oversized island with a prep sink, Quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry, and premium Viking appliances, including a 6-burner cooktop and professional-grade refrigerator.
Versatile Floor Plan & Desirable Amenities: The property offers a highly functional layout with a first-floor en-suite bedroom, a custom wine cellar, and multiple bonus rooms (downstairs office/playroom, massive upstairs media/lounge room) providing flexible living spaces.

Cons

Lack of Private Pool/Spa: Despite the luxurious features and private backyard, the absence of a private pool or spa might be a missed amenity for buyers seeking a complete resort-style living experience in a high-end San Diego home.
Limited View: The property offers pleasant 'Neighborhood, Trees/Woods' views, but it lacks the highly sought-after panoramic ocean, canyon, or city light views that can significantly enhance value and appeal in this exclusive San Diego market.
Age of Construction (Relative): Built in 2001, while extensively updated, the core structure is over two decades old. Some discerning buyers in the luxury segment may prefer newer construction (post-2010) for the latest architectural trends, energy efficiencies, or structural warranties.
