Residenza Unifamiliare A La Jolla

TOP OF THE HILL! Set on a rare usable acre that may very well be the highest residential parcel on the north side of La Jolla. Enjoy endless panoramic views to the North (local/distant snow-capped mountains in winter), South (Mt. Soledad, Downtown SD, Mexico), East (UTC/Miramar/East County), and West (some ocean, including San Clemente and Catalina), with morning and afternoon sun followed by spectacular year-round sunsets. Owned by the same family for more than 70 years, and tucked behind mature landscaping and approached by a gently sloping drive, this classic coastal estate immediately conveys privacy and understated sophistication. The 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Cape Cod style house spans over 4,000 square feet and is thoughtfully designed for both relaxed everyday living and exceptional outdoor entertaining and activities. The updated kitchen is welcoming and functional with stone counters, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and an efficient layout suited for simple family meals or large gatherings. There is a separate upstairs master suite or apartment (ADU) above the single level main floor with its own private entrance, expansive deck, library/living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, bedroom, bathroom, and large walk-in closet. Perfectly situated on the best lot in the area, there is even an original horse barn from the early years when the property was home base for the 40-acre “Rancho Soledad” ranch.
