This house is less than a five-minute walk from sandy beaches and the ocean, and less than 10 minutes from a stretch of La Jolla Boulevard with a coffee shop, a grocery store and a bakery specializing in bagels. It is about a five-minute drive from La Jolla Village and from the La Jolla Tide Pools, a popular place to catch a glimpse of crabs and other sea creatures.

Driving to the University of California San Diego campus takes about 15 minutes. Downtown San Diego is about half an hour away.

Size: 1,917 square feet

Price per square foot: $2,191

Indoors: This house sits behind a rock wall topped by a white picket fence and cascading vines. The wood gate in the center opens to a courtyard.

Beyond the front door, around the corner, is a foyer with French limestone floors and a staircase to the second floor. This space connects to a living room with a fireplace and glass doors that fold back to offer access to the courtyard.

Through a doorway at the back of the living room is a kitchen with custom-made white oak cabinets; quartzite counters; stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf range with a hand-plastered range hood and a Miele dishwasher; and a long island with a waterfall counter, an integrated sink and space to seat four. A powder room with a floating marble sink and a dining area with access to an interior courtyard are off the kitchen.

All three bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary bedroom, at the far end of the upstairs hall, has hardwood floors and large windows that fill the space with light; the en suite bathroom has a double vanity and a walk-in shower. Attached to the primary bedroom is a guest room that could be used as a nursery or home office. Each of the other two bedrooms has enough space for a queen-size bed. One has the use of a bathroom with a long double vanity and a walk-in shower; the other has a bathroom with handmade Moroccan tile work on the walls and a deep soaking tub with brass hardware.
