Character defines this Nantucket-style home situated on a flat, almost quarter acre corner lot in coveted Upper Hermosa. Cedar shingles and wood siding with a rich patina set the tone for the craftsmanship within, highlighted by custom built-ins throughout, pegged hardwood floors, detailed dental mouldings and window benches. The kitchen was fully transformed in 2018 with artisan cabinetry, quartzite countertops, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Dacor ovens, and Miele cooktop to create a modern space that enhances the style, functionality and flow. Open-beamed ceilings, clerestory windows and french doors invite an abundance of natural light while seamlessly connecting to the private, verdant backyard with lush landscaping and heirloom fruit trees (mango, pomegranate, fig, lemon, lime, mandarin & avocado). Single-level living with just a few steps throughout, this home has 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms, one of which is a perfect guest suite, and magically blends history, charm and modern elements. Located in one of La Jolla's most sought-after neighborhoods with tree-lined curvilinear streets, and walking distance to beaches, the bike path, Bird Rock & The Village!
