Description

This Contemporary Hillside gem sits on an elevated lot with breathtaking North shore, panoramic views in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in La Jolla. This home was designed to blend with the natural topography using smooth woods, copper accents, abundant natural sunlight with vast windows capturing the sublime coastline white-water views and blue sky. This home adorns uber high ceilings throughout with expansive gallery walls for the art-lover's collection. The alluring primary bedroom suite is airy and light with high ceilings and beautiful mitered corner windows that look left towards The Cove and the Village and the ultimate birdseye view to the North shore, Scripps Pier, Blacks Beach, Torrey Pines, white water shoreline and wildlife. The floor plan allows for privacy and space and ample room for entertaining on the many brick patios and the spectacular living room deck with never-ending views. The kitchen has such details as a copper ceiling, dumb waiter and built-in breakfast nook with access to the private patio and BBQ area. There are 2 large storage rooms in the basement/garage for the ultimate workshop. This custom home has never been on the market in 40 years and was designed for the artistic and architectural palate. This home is an open canvas with endless opportunities.

    "The walkability, beach, and exclusivity. I’ve lived here for 16 years and I’ve raised my two kids in La Jolla. The farmers market, elementary, middle and high school are within walking distance. Shops, cafes, restaurants, movie theatre, grocery store are all in walking distance. Easy access to the freeway if needed, but you don’t really need a car because the public transportation is easily accessible. "
