Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980, this property is 44 years old. While it is an iconic architectural 'trophy' home that appears very well-maintained, the interior finishes, flooring, and exposed HVAC ducting reflect a style consistent with a renovation or refresh older than 15-20 years. Per the criteria, its age and dated aesthetic for the kitchen/living areas place it in the Fair category.
Elementary School: Ocean Beach Elementary School (10/10).
Known as the 'Waterfall House' by architect Rob Quigley, this trophy property features dramatic 30-foot ceilings and a signature indoor waterfall pool, offering a level of artistic prestige and uniqueness that cannot be replicated.
Designed for a resort-like lifestyle, the home includes a dedicated yoga/meditation stage, professional-grade acoustics, and a separate 300 sq. ft. guest house, making it an ideal retreat for artists and entertainers.
The extensive indoor water features and integrated pool require specialized upkeep and may present long-term moisture management challenges compared to traditional residential designs.
With only three bedrooms across nearly 3,900 square feet, the unconventional layout prioritizes open-concept artistic spaces over traditional bedroom count, potentially limiting appeal for larger families seeking conventional privacy.
