Immaculately crafted Montoro estate in La Jolla Shores delivers sensational views from the Cove and north past Scripps Pier. Tall window walls of glass, curved hallways, and inlaid stone floors set an elegant tone, with art gallery walls throughout. Designed for total privacy and security, every room is oriented to the ocean, and an elevator connects all levels. The sumptuous primary wing sits on the entry level, a retreat unto itself with a private sculpture garden, fountain, lemon trees, ocean views, and an exceptional bath and closet. The stunning view kitchen opens to eat-in dining, and the home includes a formal dining room, private offices, and Murano lighting. All secondary bedrooms are en suite. Outside, wraparound terraces and refreshed gardens are ideal for sunset viewing and gathering, while a lower level features an expansive magical garden that welcomes quiet contemplation and peaceful ocean views. The lower level offers expansive private space with multiple bedrooms, game and living space with wine storage, a gym, and a bonus room prewired for a theater. An oversized 3-car garage, whole-house water filtration, and soft water are just a few of the estate’s special amenities. The exclusive Fully Gated enclave of Montoro offers 24/7 security, a pool, and tennis courts. This is a rare sanctuary in one of La Jolla's most coveted settings.
