Property Description

You will not believe your eyes when you see this timeless and original 1966 Mid-Century Modern dream home that was personally designed by Master Architect, Lloyd Ruocco, for the current owners and is now available to purchase for the very first time! Step inside this elegant modernist masterpiece and prepare to be transported back to the 1960's when vinyl records of Frank Sinatra and other Hollywood crooners filled the home while taking in the breathtaking panoramic ocean views overlooking La Jolla Shores and Mt. Soledad through disappearing walls of glass that retract into walls to create the ultimate indoor-outdoor Southern California lifestyle! Experience ample privacy both inside and out as well as sun-drenched living spaces that beautifully highlight Ruocco’s signature use of glass and redwood to create impeccable scale in each room and provide an ambiance that is both cozy and stunning at the same time. Eye-catching architectural elements fill the home, including soaring vaulted ceilings, oversized bay windows, and spectacular woodwork throughout like the solid redwood door, the modern slatted wood privacy screening on the balcony, and custom redwood built-ins throughout including the inviting dry bar in the living room, the stunning shelving in the lower level office/4th bedroom, or the eye-catching buffet in the dining room with accordion sliders that close to provide separation from the kitchen. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths can be found upstairs with the kitchen and formal living/dining spaces, while the lower level features a separate living space, an additional office/bedroom with full bath, and access to the spectacular pool deck with more ocean views. This spacious .5-acre lot features mature landscaping throughout and offers untapped potential including a sprawling grassy area that sits behind hedges beyond the pool deck, providing endless possibilities to create a spectacular outdoor oasis. Lovingly maintained for many decades and oozing with Mid-Century architectural appeal, this property presents a rare opportunity to its next lucky and most-deserving Buyer!
