Renaissance La Jolla

San Diego, CA 92122
Updated Throughout  ·  Gated Toscana

Behind the gates of Toscana, in the highly desirable Renaissance La Jolla neighborhood of University City, this thoughtfully upgraded detached home offers four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 2,049 square feet of living space arranged around an open floor plan.

High-quality vinyl wood plank flooring runs throughout the main level, and the bathrooms have been renovated. At the heart of the home is an upgraded kitchen with a sizable island, stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops, and white cabinetry with generous storage — open to a family room anchored by a fireplace.

Just outside the living room is a private backyard with a built-in barbecue, updated hardscape, and mature landscaping that makes indoor-outdoor living effortless. Turnkey homes like this in Toscana don't come along often.

Thoughtfully upgraded

01

The Upgraded Kitchen

Upgraded and built around a sizable island with quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and white cabinetry with ample storage. Open to the family room and steps from the backyard slider — the natural center of the house.

02

Private Backyard

Just outside the living room: a built-in barbecue, updated hardscape, a level lawn, and mature landscaping with bougainvillea and palms. Room to dine a dozen under string lights, and a separate lounge area beyond.

03

Renovated Throughout

High-quality vinyl wood plank flooring runs across the main level. The bathrooms have been renovated, and all four bedrooms sit upstairs, away from the entertaining spaces.

04

The Primary Suite

A fluted wood accent wall behind the bed, a tray ceiling, mirrored closet doors, and a walk-in closet fitted with built-in shelving and drawers. The renovated bath pairs a soaking tub with a frameless glass shower and a dual vanity.

05

Volume & Natural Light

A two-story living room with a wall of windows sets the tone at the entry. Arched openings, leaded glass, and a skylit stairwell carry that light deep into the plan — unusual for the square footage.

06

Toscana Community

Residents enjoy a community pool and spa behind the gates, with HOA dues of $500 per month. The surrounding Renaissance neighborhood adds winding walking paths, tranquil fountains, and beautifully maintained green spaces.

Toscana, inside
Renaissance La Jolla

Toscana is a gated enclave within Renaissance La Jolla, one of University City's most established neighborhoods and a consistently sought-after pocket of San Diego's 92122. It is a small collection of detached homes rather than attached units, and residents share a community pool and spa. HOA dues run $500 per month.

Beyond the gates, Renaissance offers winding walking paths, tranquil fountains, and beautifully maintained green spaces. A short walk away, the 30-acre Nobel Athletic Fields and Recreation Center brings together children's play areas, an off-leash dog park, ball fields, shaded picnic tables, and the North University Community Library — all on one site.

It is a quiet, walkable pocket that happens to sit minutes from the region's largest employment and shopping centers.
