Unmatched walkability in this beautifully renovated Cape Cod style home in the heart of Bird Rock. Expanded with a second story in 2019, the residence blends timeless character with modern livability, offering four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a versatile bonus space with its own bath in the converted garage. Inside, bright, open spaces flow effortlessly for both everyday living and entertaining. Skylights and wide glass doors fill the home with natural light, connecting the chef’s kitchen, formal dining room, and inviting living area to a private patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The home is equipped with dual-zone heating and air conditioning, providing personalized comfort on both levels. Upstairs, the second level reveals gentle ocean glimpses, adding a touch of coastal charm to the space. Outside, classic curb appeal shines with a white picket fence, brick walkway, and welcoming front porch. The landscaped yard offers space to relax, complete with a storage shed and mature plumeria tree. Just a block from Bird Rock’s shops, cafés, bike path, and the beach, this home enjoys exceptional walkability and access to top-rated schools and La Jolla’s spectacular coastline. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready gem in one of the area’s most desirable enclaves.
