Property Description

Sweeping ocean views, spacious living areas and an impressive architectural pedigree infuse this modernist-influenced La Jolla home with an unyielding sense of presence, enduring style and timeless luxury. Created by multi-award-winning architect and interior designer James Rodney Youngson, the exceptionally maintained custom residence is poised on an elevated site to maximize enjoyment of dramatic views of La Jolla Shores, whitewater, evening lights and the coastline up to Dana Point. The estate captures attention with undeniable curb appeal that transforms into an illuminated masterpiece after sunset. Hand- carved wood entry doors open to reveal a private courtyard, and grounds continue with a pool and spa, manicured shade trees, tiled view patios, and improved landscaping and lighting. A rare three-car garage with finished floor is introduced by a long stone driveway that accommodates five vehicles. Indoors, grand proportions and ever-changing views complement a two-story floor plan of approximately 3,357 square feet. The versatile four-bedroom, four- and one-half-bath design lives like a one-level floor plan, with the first floor featuring one bedroom and one bath that are ideal for guests or a housekeeper. Entertain graciously on the main level, where formal and casual rooms are distinguished by curvilinear walls, a Juliet balcony, vaulted and beamed ceilings, plantation shutters, and new carpet and paint. An owned solar system powers the home, which also reveals a dining room with French doors to the view terrace, a dine-in kitchen, large storage areas, updated LED lighting, central vacuum and intercom systems, and phone-operated pool controls. The distinctive residence is only moments to La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Village, the La Jolla Country Club, La Jolla Cove, award-winning schools and a broad variety of fine dining and shopping destinations.
