Designed by architect John Klacka, this custom artisan estate features high-end finishes like Purpleheart hardwood floors and over 15 custom glass doors, offering a unique blend of timeless design and coastal sophistication.
Perched on a premium cul-de-sac lot, the property provides unobstructed views of the serene canyon, Mount Soledad, and city lights, creating an exceptional backdrop for both daily living and entertaining.
