Rare opportunity to own a charming home nestled privately above the street on one of Upper Hermosa's most desirable blocks! Living on this tree-lined street offers one of the most sought-after lifestyles in all of La Jolla - walking distance to beaches, the bike path, Bird Rock, and La Jolla Village. This inviting ranch-style home, centered around a beautifully refinished and expanded courtyard, has been thoughtfully updated to include a Pebbletech saltwater pool and spa, new Viking appliances, refinished original oak floors, upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, copper gutters, fully owned solar, outdoor gas fireplace, fruit trees (lemon, lime and avocado), sport-court area and more. The warmth and character of this move-in-ready home are incredibly appealing, and the current peek ocean views could be enhanced with the addition of a second story. Plans from a top local architect have been conceptualized that include an expansion of the kitchen and the creation of a two-story ADU above the garage, and they are ready to be submitted for approval. The open living room, adjacent to the kitchen and patio, makes entertaining a joy and gives the home a spacious feel, while the single-level floor plan--featuring all bedrooms on a private wing--ensures ease of everyday living. The large, level lot and detached garage further highlight the incredible value this property offers!
