This classic Thomas Shepherd designed home sits on an oversized lot on one of the best blocks in the heart of La Jolla's Village. A large, graceful entry-courtyard shaded by mature trees welcomes you into this well maintained but original home that lives like a single story with 4BRs/4BAs on the main entry level. In addition there is a separate one bedroom guest quarters with kitchenette on the lower level that opens onto a spacious yet private backyard. The residence has generous room sizes and the ornate millwork and charming fireplaces of a bygone era, but also features that were ahead of their time such as great indoor outdoor flow through sliding doors out to the courtyard and a logical layout with generous room sizes and lots of windows. Opportunity abounds for a buyer to rehabilitate and personalize this rare in-Village offering!
