Turnkey La Jolla Luxury — Fully Remodeled Coastal Retreat. Welcome home! — where the laid-back beach lifestyle of Pacific Beach meets the refined elegance of La Jolla living. Tucked away in a quiet, secluded enclave, this stunning 5-bedroom + bonus room, residence, remodeled in 2023, offers 2,764 sq ft of beautifully reimagined interiors on a generous 9,300 sq ft lot. Here, sophisticated design meets effortless coastal charm — blending modern luxury, award-winning La Jolla schools, and beachside convenience at a price point rarely seen for a home of this caliber.



Comprehensively remodeled in 2023, the home features a gourmet chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, and a full suite of premium JennAir appliances — the perfect stage for entertaining or enjoying everyday meals in style. Rich hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the main living spaces, anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and custom built-ins that add warmth and architectural character.



Upstairs, the reimagined primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with spa-inspired finishes and elevated comfort at every turn. The flexible floor plan adapts beautifully to today’s lifestyle — ideal for remote work, multigenerational living, or simply providing everyone their own space to thrive.



Step outside to your newly completed backyard oasis (landscaped 2025) — a private sanctuary designed for al fresco dining, effortless entertaining, or quiet relaxation amid mature landscaping and serene privacy.



With elevated design elements and thoughtful upgrades throughout — including new plumbing and electrical (2023), fresh trim paint, central A/C and heat, and full termite clearance (2025) — this residence is truly turnkey.



Additional highlights include a 3-car attached garage with driveway parking for six, ample interior storage, and no HOA dues. Ideally situated just minutes from the sand, surf, and vibrant local hotspots of both La Jolla and Pacific Beach, this home offers the best of both worlds: peaceful coastal living, moments from everything.



A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready La Jolla retreat of this scale, quality, and setting — delivering extraordinary value in one of Southern California’s most coveted coastal communities.
