luxury seaside houses for sale La Jolla, United States

The main level offers a versatile layout ideal for modern living and entertaining. The grand living room features classic wainscoting, an original masonry fireplace, and French doors that open to a serene loggia with views of the expansive backyard.

Welcome to 737 Whiting Court, where effortless coastal elegance meets the vibrant energy of Mission Beach. Perfectly positioned just steps from the sand and iconic boardwalk, this residence captures the essence of Southern California beach living. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings with distinctive stained-glass accents, creating a warm, light-filled ambiance. The expansive great room offers an open and airy setting ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Thoughtfully designed, the home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a versatile loft that functions seamlessly as a third bedroom, private office, or guest retreat. The expansive primary bedroom provides a comfortable and private escape, complementing the home's well-balanced layout. Lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained, the home reflects pride of ownership throughout. The indoor-outdoor lifestyle shines with a ground-level bedroom featuring an en-suite bath and direct access to a private patio with an outdoor shower-perfect after a day at the beach. An expansive rooftop deck offers the ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing in the coastal breeze. A spacious 2-car garage adds convenience. All just moments from Mission Beach's top dining, cafes, and shops-this is more than a home; it's a lifestyle defined by sun, surf, and coastal living. Recently received Tier 4 STRL. Open-concept kitchen and living area upstairs, bringing natural light and airy flow-great for entertaining or relaxing after a day by the water. Private upstairs deck (viewing deck): a serene spot to take in ocean breezes, enjoy sunsets, or host gatherings. Why This Property Stands Out This home offers a rare combination: the convenience and culture of Mission Beach living (boardwalk, beach, and waterside lifestyle) with private touches like a loft and deck that many beachside units (often condos or rentals) don't provide. The reported sq ft area does not represent how the home lives. The loft and rooftop add living space, and the spacious great room and master suite are almost impossible to find in the area. A perfect balance of comfort, flexibility, and lifestyle, whether used as a full-time residence, vacation home, or income property. For buyers seeking a walkable, surf-and-sand lifestyle without sacrificing a traditional home layout, 737 Whiting Court delivers: a home rather than just a unit, yet still steps from the ocean. During the current owner's ownership, the main bathroom has been remodeled, removing the bathtub and replacing it with a low-maintenance shower. Indoor and outdoor furniture has been replaced with quality Polywood material furniture.
