Large move-in ready detached home in prestigious Emerald Cove in La Jolla! Breathe in the fresh air as you take in south-facing views of the city, bay and whitewater coastline from this exquisitely updated home. Set on an oversized lot, the gracious floor plan offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and features a large covered balcony off the living room that extends the living space of the main level. A welcoming entry showcases natural-toned maple wood floors and the modern coastal chic aesthetic of the home. As you enter the kitchen, you’ll notice the KitchenAid Professional line of stainless steel appliances, a Torva work sink, and honed marble countertops. The “gathering” island allows for a flexible dining area, as well as a great prep or homework space. Double ovens, a five burner gas range and loads of cabinetry round out an impressive kitchen designed for the home chef. Located on the same level as the kitchen and living room, the large primary suite opens with graceful double doors, while a freestanding tub, mother of pearl shower tile, and marble floors combine to create a relaxing and luxurious primary bathroom. Nicely sized secondary bedrooms, a spacious laundry room with extra storage, and a large family room with fireplace (with access to the back yard) finish off the downstairs living area. Entertaining will be a breeze in the inviting and private outdoor areas, which include a built-in gas BBQ and fireplace. A bonus storage room (approximately 10x20) will help keep your three car garage clean and organized. A new upstairs 20 SEER HVAC system has also been added, along with a Nest smart thermostat and tankless water heater. La Jolla schools for this area include Bird Rock Elementary School, Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High School. Emerald Cove residents also have access to the La Jolla Alta Master Council Clubhouse, which includes Tennis and Pickle-ball Courts, 2 Swimming Pools, Spa, Sauna, Fitness Center, and entertaining areas. The manager has listed the unit size as 2998 square feet.
