About this home

First time on the market in 47 years! Estate like privacy can be found in this Spanish influenced single level four bedroom, three bath 3432 square foot home on close to a half acre in the prestigious Old Muirlands. Enter through an enclosed courtyard and delight in the mature landscaping and the fact that window curtains are not needed for privacy. Multiple sliding glass doors will take you to the front courtyard or to the pool and deck with its ocean view and large two tiered backyard, perfect for child’s play or gardening. The house has been recently repainted outside and there is a glass windbreak behind the pool. The very sensible floorplan has the primary bedroom and study on one wing of the house and the additional three bedrooms on the other wing. The kitchen was redone in 2007 and features Maytag and GE appliances, a gas stove and a movable island. The kitchen is adjacent to a family room with gas fireplace and the two could easily become a great room. Additionally there is a security system, saltillo tile and parquet floors, a dedicated laundry room, and flagstone patio. The living room is flooded with sunlight and overlooks the pool. If you are looking for a special home on a cul de sac in an established La Jolla neighborhood, this home will resonate with you.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1970, the property has been well-maintained with recent exterior paint. The kitchen was last renovated in 2007 (17 years ago), featuring functional but dated appliances and finishes. Bathrooms show some minor updates but retain older elements like textured shower glass and vanity styles. While move-in ready, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, would benefit from cosmetic updates to align with current design trends, fitting the 'Fair' category's description of being aged but maintained with major components functional but outdated.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prestigious Location & Privacy: Situated on a cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Old Muirlands of La Jolla, offering exceptional estate-like privacy and mature landscaping.
Expansive Outdoor Living & Ocean View: Boasts a nearly half-acre lot with a private pool, deck, and an ocean view, complemented by a large two-tiered backyard perfect for recreation and entertaining.
Functional Single-Level Layout: A spacious 3,432 sqft single-level home featuring a sensible split floorplan with a dedicated primary wing and potential for an open-concept great room.
Rare Market Opportunity: This property is available for the first time in 47 years, presenting a unique and exclusive opportunity for discerning buyers in a prime location.
Bright Interiors & Seamless Flow: The home benefits from abundant natural light, particularly in the living room, and multiple sliding glass doors create a harmonious indoor-outdoor living experience.

Cons

Dated Interior Finishes: The kitchen, last updated in 2007 with standard appliances and a movable island, along with Saltillo tile and parquet flooring, may require significant modernization to align with current luxury trends.
Potential System Updates: As a 1970-built home, there's a likelihood of original systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that may need updating or replacement to meet contemporary standards and efficiency.
Absence of Central Cooling: The property description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a notable omission for comfort during warmer periods in La Jolla and may require a costly installation.
