About this home
BEST VALUE ON THE OCEANFRONT! To live on the Pacific waterfront is an extraordinarily rare privilege enjoyed by few in the history of the world, and this bright, immaculate Mediterranean residence offers every opportunity to savor the sounds of the sea as they lull you to sleep, the excitement of crashing surf, the light of the setting sun and moon sparkling on the water... the twinkling lights of coastline and fishing boats... and both year-round and seasonal migrations of marine wildlife. This wonderful home offers a clean slate for your aesthetic pleasures within steps to Bird Rock's chic restaurants, music venue, wine bars, cafes and shops. Phenomenal value for a lifestyle available to few.

Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1985, is move-in ready and appears to have undergone significant renovations in key areas. The kitchen features modern flat-panel cabinetry, granite countertops, and contemporary fixtures. Living spaces boast updated flooring and recessed lighting. While most bathrooms are updated with modern elements like glass showers and rain shower heads, one bathroom displays a more dated reddish-brown marble, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, the home is well-maintained with functional systems and stylish updates in primary living areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Unrivaled Oceanfront Location: The property boasts a rare and privileged oceanfront position in La Jolla, offering direct access and an immersive experience with the Pacific Ocean.
Panoramic Ocean Views: Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, crashing surf, sunsets, and marine wildlife from the residence, a key luxury amenity.
Exceptional Walkability: Located within steps of Bird Rock's vibrant array of chic restaurants, music venues, wine bars, cafes, and shops, offering a highly desirable lifestyle.
Top-Rated School District: The property is zoned for highly-rated schools, including Bird Rock Elementary (10/10) within walking distance, and strong middle and high schools.
Recent Price Adjustment: A significant price reduction from $8.4M to $7.8M indicates increased motivation from the seller and potentially better value for a discerning buyer.
Cons
Discrepancy with Estimated Value: The current listing price of $7.8M is 7% higher than the property's estimated value of $7.23M, which may suggest it is still priced aggressively relative to market benchmarks.
Potential for Aesthetic Updates: Built in 1985 and described as a 'clean slate for your aesthetic pleasures,' the property may require substantial cosmetic renovations to align with contemporary luxury design trends and buyer expectations.
Lack of Specified Modern Features: The description does not highlight any recent high-end renovations, smart home technology, or energy-efficient upgrades, which are increasingly expected in luxury properties at this price point.
