Description

This sprawling, well maintained single level ranch home on a relatively flat acre in the heart of the Muirlands has been lovingly maintained by the same family for almost 60 years! Surrounded by some of the priciest homes in La Jolla, the site's maximum floor area ratio could accommodate almost 20,000 SF in this coveted location. Opportunity abounds for a remodel, new construction or spec development with tremendous upside potential, or move right into the traditional ranch style home with vaulted ceilings, a pool & spa, a full sized lighted tennis court, billiards room, game room, and a 3 car garage with a large semi circular driveway and an abundance of off-street parking. Mature trees and landscaping create a private yet impressive curb appeal with the home set well back from the street, and its central courtyard at rear is a perfect place for indoor outdoor gatherings that are what makes living in La Jolla such an amazing experience. This iconic home and exceedingly rare offering is ready for its next chapter!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 27, 2023

    "The walkability, beach, and exclusivity. I’ve lived here for 16 years and I’ve raised my two kids in La Jolla. The farmers market, elementary, middle and high school are within walking distance. Shops, cafes, restaurants, movie theatre, grocery store are all in walking distance. Easy access to the freeway if needed, but you don’t really need a car because the public transportation is easily accessible. "
