Set in the heart of one of La Jolla's best neighborhoods, this Spanish Revival style home offers an enviable combination of ocean views, privacy and essentially single-level living, all just minutes from the Village. The main, entry level holds the primary bedroom, a second bedroom and a private office with fireplace, all with ocean views, while two additional bedrooms, laundry and the garage are tucked below. High ceilings, a beautiful fireplace and French doors that open the living room to the entry patio create a wonderful flow for both everyday living and entertaining, as does the spacious dining room with a butler's pantry. The kitchen has a charming built-in breakfast nook. The home sits on a large lot adjacent to a decommissioned City reservoir, which gives it an unusually open, expansive feeling rarely found this close to the coast. Believed to be a 1927/28 work of Lilian Rice, the home retains its original character: white stucco, clay tile, deeply recessed openings, an intimate courtyard, and interiors with the details of a master architect. The house creates a rare opportunity for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a true La Jolla classic in one of the area's most desirable enclaves.
