Thoughtfully constructed on 2 of 3 parcels totaling nearly 1.4 acres, the fully gated property is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and mature hedges, ensuring privacy. With a California Traditional style that is barely visible from the street, this exquisite home features two above-grade levels. The main level includes a spacious living room, dining room, and family room designed by renowned designer Jeffrey Bilhuber for seamless flow and entertaining.

Pocketing screen doors create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, including a covered patio off the family room that epitomizes La Jolla's beloved indoor/outdoor living experience. The upper level boasts an impressive primary bedroom suite with sitting areas, a fireplace, large shower, his and hers closets and toilets, and a private balcony with a therapeutic spa and fireplace.

Additional features of this remarkable home include a wine cellar, theater room with bar, extensive storage, and an 18+ car showroom that offers incredible flexibility for various uses such as a gym, golf simulator, recording studio, and/or bowling alley. The meticulously designed grounds include a large UV pool with underwater speakers, ample lawn and garden areas designed by Art Luna. There is also potential to build a pool house, sport court, or re-partition and sell or develop the land. A new home built on the annexed lot would also have ocean views from the second story. In-wall speakers, laundry facilities on both levels, bathrooms with Toto washlets, polished nickel Waterworks Plumbing fixtures with Speakman showerheads, heated floors, elevator access to all levels, and extensive smart home technology are just a few examples of the attention to detail and luxurious amenities that make this home so special.
