A private La Jolla retreat with authentic Mid-Century Modern character, set on a lush half-acre cul-de-sac lot. Expansive windows, vaulted beamed ceilings, natural stone, and multiple decks blur the line between indoors and out, opening to peaceful canyon views and a glimpse of the ocean. The flexible four-bedroom layout includes two primary suites and generous living spaces surrounded by mature landscaping and privacy. Rooted in classic California modernism, the home offers a rare canvas for a fresh, contemporary vision—an opportunity to create something truly personal, connected to nature, and distinctly La Jolla.
