Beautifully remodeled 4-bedroom residence in the La Jolla Vista community with 3-car parking, ideally located in the highly desirable University Town Center area. This townhome offers a functional two-story layout with all bedrooms upstairs, creating a comfortable separation between living and private spaces. In addition to the attached two-car garage, the property also includes a convenient third assigned parking space. The home has been thoughtfully remodeled to include a modern kitchen featuring quartz countertops & shaker cabinets, bathrooms with dual sinks & walk-in frameless showers, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, fresh interior paint, updated trim work, and stylish details throughout. The light-filled main living area flows seamlessly to a private backyard—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying San Diego’s year-round coastal climate. Set within a well-maintained community near UCSD, Scripps, and the Sorrento Valley technology and biotech corridor, as well as the premier shopping and dining of UTC, this home enjoys a prime location in one of San Diego’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The nearby Blue Line trolley station provides convenient access to UCSD, La Jolla, and downtown San Diego, while the area’s proximity to campus and major employment centers continues to support consistently strong housing demand.
