An exemplary model of mid-century modern architecture designed by Master Architect Frederick Leibhardt, this home feels natural and timeless. It has been recently updated by Trace Wilson, Architect to elevate livability and preserve architectural integrity. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the home captures sweeping ocean, golf course and Village views blending the indoor and outdoor environments.

The entry level features an integrated open-concept kitchen, dining and living area that flows seamlessly to a panoramic view deck. A spacious primary suite offering privacy as well as stunning ocean views is also on the main level. Downstairs, a spacious family/game room opens to an outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. The 3 generous bedroom suites also enjoy serene treetop and ocean views. Just minutes to the Village, this property effortlessly blends design, comfort and location in one of La Jolla’s most iconic settings.
