Homes in this sought-after location rarely come to market! In a highly coveted site just above La Jolla Shores' picturesque whitewater surf coastline and North Shore, this lovely classic residence can be easily updated to maximize enjoyment of its superb location and sweeping ocean views. Just steps to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and Shores Village shops and restaurants, bright bay windows, gleaming hardwood floors, a wonderful staircase with handcrafted custom wood banister, and fresh woodwork and cabinetry provide a perfect backdrop for your style. A soaring natural wood open-beam ceiling with fireplace and windows opening to the expansive patio and mature gardens, and while friends and family will naturally gravitate toward the sea side views of the residence, the serene and spacious back patio offers another relaxing spot for dining and entertaining al fresco.
