Perched above the Pacific on a private bluff in La Jolla, this 6,200-square-foot contemporary estate commands unobstructed coastline views from nearly every room.

The chef's kitchen is anchored by a 12-foot waterfall island in honed Calacatta marble, flanked by Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a temperature-controlled wine wall displaying 200 bottles. Five en-suite bedrooms include a primary retreat with a private terrace, soaking tub overlooking the water, and a dressing room fitted with custom millwork. Step outside to an infinity-edge pool, an outdoor kitchen with built-in seating for ten, and terraced gardens that lead to a gated path down to the shore. Located moments from the boutiques of Prospect Street and world-class dining along the coast, this residence is designed for those who measure home by the life it makes possible.

Prompt 3: Fixer-Upper or As-Is Property

- Avoid terms like "charming" as a euphemism for problemsExample Output:
Priced to reflect its condition, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow on a generous 7,500-square-foot lot in the Eastwood district is ready for its next chapter. The roof and foundation are solid, plumbing was updated to copper in 2014, and the 200-amp electrical panel is already in place. Inside, the home needs cosmetic renovation throughout — flooring, kitchen, bathroom, and interior paint are all original and due for replacement. A detached one-car garage and wide side yard offer real potential for an ADU addition, subject to city approval. The neighborhood has seen steady appreciation over the past five years, with recent flips on the same block selling well above the current ask. Ideal for investors or owner-occupants comfortable with a renovation project. Sold as-is.
Prompt 4: New Construction or Builder Listing
Highlight what buyers can't see yet.

- Keep under 160 wordsExample Output:
Move in this summer. This brand-new 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home by Ridgeline Builders in the Creekside at Sycamore community is on track for June completion and already turning heads. The signature Hawthorne floor plan delivers 2,400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living, including an open-concept main level with 10-foot ceilings, a primary suite on the first floor, and a loft space upstairs that flexes as a home office or playroom. Standard finishes rival most builders' upgrade packages — quartz countertops, LVP flooring, soft-close cabinetry, and a Rinnai tankless water heater all come included. The community offers a resort-style pool, two miles of walking trails, and a planned elementary school within the development. Situated just 15 minutes from downtown and under 10 minutes from the I-40 interchange, Creekside combines new-home quality with genuine convenience. Only three homesites remain in this phase — contact the listing agent to reserve yours.

Build your vision on 5.8 acres of gently rolling countryside in Warren County, just 12 minutes from downtown Lebanon and two miles from the I-65 corridor.

A mix of open pasture and mature hardwoods lines the southern boundary, providing both privacy and a natural backdrop for a future homesite. The property features 320 feet of paved road frontage off Old Mill Road with an existing gravel drive entrance already cut in. Soil surveys are on file with the county, and the topography supports a standard septic system. Well-suited for a single custom build or a small hobby farm, this land sits in one of Middle Tennessee's fastest-growing corridors. Survey and topo map available upon request.
