Pride of ownership aptly describes this three bedroom, two and a half bath home of 2541 square feet in the gated community of Emerald Cove. This Nautilus model has that WOW factor with open spaces in the living, dining , kitchen and family room on the first floor and three sun-infused bedrooms plus a laundry room on the second floor. There is a three car garage, fireplace in the family room, GE Monogram and LG appliances in the dazzling chef’s kitchen with breakfast bar with a beautiful view of the garden. The primary bedroom has a raised ceiling, luxurious bath with double vanities, a soaking tub and separate shower, and a large walk- in closet. Two sets of sliding doors on the main level give you access to the low-maintenance patio with its slate floor, custom brick corner fireplace and mature plantings. Add to this the fact that owners in Emerald Cove have access to the resort like facility of the La Jolla Alta Clubhouse with its two pools, lighted tennis courts and pickleball courts, and you will readily believe that 1329 Caminito Balada represents one of La Jolla’s best buys.
