Due to the health concerns created by Coronavirus we are offering personal 1-1 online video walkthough tours where possible.
Located just steps from the iconic surf break at Windansea Beach, this architecturally significant residence is positioned in the heart of La Jolla's Beach-Barber Tract. Recipient of a 2003 AIA Gold Award and featured in San Diego Home & Garden, the home pairs design pedigree with everyday coastal living. Floor-to-ceiling glass welcomes natural light and ocean views across multiple levels, while sculptural concrete and warm wood elements create a distinctive yet inviting atmosphere. Inspired by early California modernism, custom redwood sliding systems extend living spaces outward to multiple decks, encouraging seamless indoor-outdoor living. Elevated ceilings enhance the sense of openness and volume. The Bulthaup kitchen features custom cabinetry and premium Sub-Zero refrigeration, opening to generous living and dining areas anchored by dual fireplaces. Leathered marble tile and grey oak hardwoods add warmth and texture throughout. The second-level primary suite offers ocean views through full-height glass. An intimate 8x8 sitting room with a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and outdoor space all combine to create a spacious retreat. The spa-inspired bath features a Hydro Systems soaking tub and opens to its own deck where you can watch the surf. The expansive rooftop deck is ideal for entertaining and sunset viewing. This is a rare opportunity to own a beach-close architectural home where the sound of the waves becomes part of daily life.
