Property Description
Set in one of the most coveted streets of La Jolla’s prestigious Olde Muirlands neighborhood, this exceptional 23,200 SF flat lot presents a rare opportunity to create a true dream estate. The existing 1955 residence offers 2,841 SF of living space with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, providing a solid foundation for a thoughtful remodel, expansion, or a complete reimagining of the property. While the current home is ready for a significant renovation, the value lies in the extraordinary setting—an expansive, level lot with endless possibilities in one of La Jolla’s most desirable enclaves. The primary bedroom enjoys ocean views from the side of the home, adding to the exceptional potential of this special property. Surrounded by timeless estates and just minutes from world-class beaches, dining, shopping, and the village, this property offers the ideal canvas to design and build a custom residence tailored to today’s lifestyle. Opportunities like this rarely become available in the Olde Muirlands. Whether restoring the existing home or creating a spectacular new vision, this is a once-in-a-generation chance to secure a premier piece of La Jolla real estate and build something truly remarkable. Included in the sale are site plans for two proposed renovation designs. While the plans have not been submitted to the City for review or approval, significant time and investment have gone into the design process, providing a valuable starting point for new owners who wish to pursue either vision.
