This timeless estate features impressive indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, elegant architecture with high ceilings, ornate details and custom millwork throughout, including crown moldings. Adding to the appeal are amenities such as generous spaces, sprawling, private grounds, gardens, and a gated, circular driveway with a detached 3 car over-sized garage. Located on the sunny side of the hill among large, newer homes in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in La Jolla, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to preserve and update the well designed existing residence or create your dream home. Sites of this size with views this expansive are exceedingly rare in La Jolla, and this one in particular is not to be missed! Buyer to verify all information prior to close of escrow.
