Located on a prime lot and block in La Jolla's coveted Upper Hermosa neighborhood, this gorgeous two-story home features 4 bedrooms and 5.5 baths (one of which is outside - perfect for post pool or beach) plus a bright, sunny office which could be an optional 5th bedroom. The soft Mediterranean aesthetic was built in 2005 and includes even more recent upgrades such as discreetly placed solar panels with 2 Tesla battery backups, multi-zoned A/C, whole house water filtration system, Lutron Caseta LED lighting, Sonos audio system, incredible storage and so much more! Defined by high ceilings creating voluminous spaces, the floorplan is complete with formal living & dining areas, a chef's kitchen that opens to the family room which connects seamlessly to the incredibly private backyard with its in-ground saltwater pool, outdoor fireplace and built-in BBQ -- ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining! Upstairs, you are rewarded with horizon ocean views from the master bedroom with its huge walk-in closet and luxurious master bath, which is a true retreat from this family-friendly floorplan. You'd be hard pressed to find a better location--in close proximity to schools, Bird Rock Village, bike path and the ocean--and a home with these features, size, quality and turnkey condition.
